Detailed Execution Process

Technical approach to renovating and expanding the historic structure.

Structural Reinforcement & Expansion

Core Integrity

$2,850,000
  • Code Compliance Retrofit: Upgrading the residential manor to commercial public assembly standards (IBC) using steel moment frames for egress paths.
  • Timber-Frame Expansion: Extending the "Grand Hall" volume using locally sourced White Oak timbers, employing traditional mortise-and-tenon joinery for aesthetic and structural integrity.
  • Foundation Underpinning: Reinforcing existing spread footings to support the increased live loads of the commercial kitchen and library.

Envelope Performance Upgrade

Thermal & Weather

$1,100,000
  • Vapor-Open Insulation: Injecting breathable, bio-based insulation into existing wall cavities to improve R-value without trapping moisture in the historic structure.
  • Glazing Retrofit: Installing custom, triple-pane windows that match the historical profile but provide Passive House levels of thermal efficiency.
  • Resilient Roofing: Deployment of a standing-seam metal roof system integrated with the solar array mounting hardware.

Fealty Fields (Agri-Core)

Food Sovereignty

$1,075,000
  • Orchard Establishment: Planting of 200+ heritage apple and nut trees using "Keyline Design" to capture water runoff passively.
  • Bio-Char Soil Amendment: Rapidly building soil carbon and fertility in the 5-acre permaculture zone through on-site bio-char production from forestry waste.
