The 100 Year House
This house lift and remodel of a 100-year-old home is on track to receive a 5-Star Built Green Certification.
The 100-Year House was, by most accounts, a tear-down. Many years of deferred maintenance led to an old arts and crafts house that was listing down the hill with a rotting kitchen addition at the back, and when it rained outside, it rained inside, right onto the dining table! Our goal was to first breathe another 100 years of life into the structure, making it a healthy, low-maintenance home for a family to stay in for a generation or more. In that process, we made a very quiet, peaceful home, with rich finishes… and the home uses just a trickle of energy!
