The article discusses a home project that evolved from a simple renovation into a complete rebuild due to architectural challenges and family growth. The clients desired a residence that felt like a historic structure rather than a modern construction. Architect Caillier, in collaboration with Lauren Crocco, focused on using reclaimed materials and design elements that reflected imperfections to achieve this aim. The project involved some quirky moments with contractors confirming measurements and old features, highlighting the journey of creating a home with character and authenticity.
"That's always the challenge with new builds," Caillier says. "How do you make them look, well, not new?"
"We were getting calls from the contractor every week, saying, 'Are you sure this measurement is right?' Or 'This has been used, and it looks old,'" Caillier laughs.
