KEEFER RESIDENCE

Originally built around 1892, the house had slipped from neglected to uninhabitable, sitting empty for over a year when we purchased it. After a grueling 12 month permitting process we began a historically sympathetic restoration to the front of the house and a modern addition to the rear. Our first goal was to retain or re-purpose as much material from the original house as possible, the second to take advantage of state of the art building materials and methods to create an energy efficient family home.

What made the project interesting was implementing a new, sustainable model for heritage retention and conservation. We kept all the original character features of the home are intact and we used sustainable materials. We didn’t compromise on style or comfort, and the clients will realize dramatically lower bills overtime.
