Every interior finish and service in the house had reached end of life at the same time, which made a phased approach more expensive than a single coordinated strip-out.
With the structure exposed, the ground floor was reorganised around a central circulation spine, and two upper bedrooms were combined into a primary suite.
Air sealing and insulation were upgraded while walls were open — the least visible and highest-value part of the scope.
