"The couple hired a crew of 12 for a full gut and tried to spend most of their budget on labor by harvesting every scrap they pulled out during the demolition."
"Partition walls revealed rust-colored Douglas-fir boards, which became Japanese-inspired screens that set off a floating staircase."
"To landscape, they dug up every Belgian block and reused them for a patio, then made a deck out of sequoia wood stripped from an old water tower."
Colin and Leni Faber purchased a carriage house in 2009 to serve as both a home and a design showcase for their firm, SHED Studio. They sought a building needing renovation and discovered valuable materials during the process. The three-story structure, dating back to the mid-1800s, underwent a complete gut renovation. The couple reused materials from the demolition, creating unique features like Japanese-inspired screens and magnificent floors. They also landscaped the yard using salvaged Belgian blocks and wood from an old water tower, emphasizing their commitment to recycling and innovative design.
