We're accustomed to the unique hurdles presented by older homes. Upon demolition, severely outdated plumbing and electrical systems were discovered, requiring immediate remedy and extension of the timeline. In tandem, we scoured local salvage lots for weeks to locate and refinish smaller radiators compatible with the existing steam heat system to fit inside of new millwork.

The home's decorative ceiling mouldings suffered from years of deterioration but it was important to maintain the remaining traces of historic character while enacting comprehensive upgrades. We engaged a specialist to hand-trowel and re-sculpt them to their original glory. 

And in an unpredictable twist, half of the last remaining lot of limestone tile specified for the wet room walls arrived covered in red mold, forcing a late stage design pivot. Our solution: waterproof Moroccan plaster in a tonal hue to augment the usable material while maintaining the original aesthetic intent.
