Several additions had been placed inside and outside the house over time and we wanted to strip the building down to its original features. Therefore, we carried out research with the Thomas Edison Foundation to source pictures of the house when it was first built. This allowed us to plan the restoration of the exterior facades and color schemes. It was extremely important to regain the integrity of the building and restore its industrial beauty. 

Extensive and meticulous interior work was undertaken and the palette of colors and materials were selected to reflect the period of the home.

This was an intricate restoration project to ensure that the period features were brought back to life in a contemporary context.
