A full-scale renovation of a 125-year-old mill house in NoDa, this project combined historic preservation with modern living through a thoughtfully designed home addition, a complete interior overhaul, and a new freestanding backyard workshop. Throughout the process, we maintained consistent communication, provided clear and upfront pricing, and delivered the project on time and on budget.

Pre-Construction

The project began with reimagining the existing structure to better support modern living while preserving its original, historic character.

Early planning focused on defining the layout, integrating the addition, and ensuring the new workshop complemented both the home and the property.

Work in Progress

The addition came to life through structural framing, roofline integration, and exterior tie-ins that connected old and new.

Key attention was given to maintaining continuity in materials and proportions as the new footprint took shape.
