The existing home had strong bones, but it needed a complete rethink to better support modern family life. The house was fully gutted, with all new windows, doors, mechanical systems, and a new staircase helping reshape the flow of the home from the inside out.

One of the biggest priorities was preserving the original character while improving performance. The existing truck decking and exposed beams were kept and refinished, bringing warmth and texture back into the space. Above, a secondary insulated roof was added to improve energy efficiency without losing the architectural feel of the original structure. Recessed lighting was carefully integrated throughout, modernizing the home while letting the natural materials remain the focus.
