This 1960 house was in need of updating from both design and performance standpoints, and the project turned into a comprehensive deep energy retrofit, with thorough airtightness and insulation, new space conditioning and energy-recovery-ventilation, triple glazed windows, and an interior of incredible elegance. While we maintained the foundation and overall massing, this is essentially a new house, well equipped for a new generation of use and enjoyment.

This brownstone didn't get any renovation for 60 years.
We painted the walls and ceilings to give it a fresher look.
Please note this is not a gutted renovation. We simply upgraded the conditions to meet the owner's immediate needs.
Regardless of your needs and property conditions, we do our best to exceed your expectations!

Restructuring the foundations to align and stabilize the structure in addition to providing for a new insulated crawl space;
A 260 square foot addition for a kitchen, bath, and new entry;
New cedar shingles, roof shingles, and restored historic windows;
The house met the strict regulations of Nantucket's Historic District.
On the inside, LEED Gold certification was met through:
High R-value insulation and reduced air leakage;
High efficiency heating, air conditioning, plumbing fixtures, and appliances;
Low-emission paints and finishes as well as a clay wall finish;
Using reclaimed materials from the original house and other sites.

Gorgeous look that will last for this inviting outdoor deck. With harsh Minnesota weather conditions, this was a great investment to not only protect and preserve the deck, but "the look" is so pleasing.
