Turning Madison’s original governor’s mansion into a charming bed and breakfast with modern amenities, while preserving historical details, was an epic undertaking that yielded stunning results.

We rebuilt the existing rear “addition” as a combination entryway and sunny sitting room with new stairs to the basement. The result? This eastside bungalow got a much needed overhaul!

See Portfolio ItemThis handsome brick home, a City of Madison Historic Landmark, received many restoration and upgrades after a chronic case of “deferred maintenance”. A historically sensitive, single-story addition, with an exposed basement, was added to increase living space while maximizing lake views. An additional half-bathroom was added over the new foundation, utilizing salvaged brick to maintain the historical essence of the home. Select interior walls were also removed for better flow and views.

Updated bathrooms throughout and a new kitchen brought this home up to date without sacrificing its historic appeal.

All materials were selected for their durability and non-toxic quality. Universal/aging-in-place design standards are infused throughout the home–including an elevator– which will provide a truly sustainable, safe, and healthy home for generations to come.
