Before this House can become a Home..
A lot needs to be done, not just some
But first and foremost
Must be gone, the clutter from the Past
To open up the Space,
so the New can take its Place..
This 400 year old Heritage Chalet
Handmade from wood, stone and clay
Carries on the ceilings, walls and floor
the mark of the owners of yore
Layers of paint, soot, dirt and grime
show the neglect over Time...
Neither Brushing, nor Washing,
Absolutely No Chemical Cleaning..
Only Fine Sand and DryIce Blast
Will Restore it back to its Glorious Past
This 400 year old Closed off House
Needs to be opened up and deserves a complete Overhaul
And so begins the List
A Brand new Kitchen to Cook up a Brew
How about a Bathroom with a View?
The wood burning oven is the only heating source
So the Burning Chamber will be replaced of course
A properly Insulated Roof is a Must
As is a complete Electrical and Sanitary Retrofit
This Old House of Earth, Wood and Stone
Handmade by people using basic Tools
Has of course no Blueprint or Plan
We measure each Wall, Room and Beam
Painstakingly we draw up the ePlan
and with it comes the Realisation
There's hardly a Right Angle here!!!
But Ofcourse...
What this means..
Renovation will need not only a Visionary
But Expertise, Patience and Flexibility.
Before this House can become a Home..
deserves more Respect than it had yet become..
Use only Natural building materials we will
Stay Intuitive through the process, we will
The required modern additions we make invisible rather than Bold
So the eye can truly Focus on the Glory of the Old!!!
