PRIOR TO RENOVATION
Residence prior to exterior renovation and energy upgrade. Stucco was severely peeling and original brick below was damaged and cracked.
Year: 2016
Location: Winnipeg, MB
Client: Private
The renovation of this heritage home incorporated the restoration of important historical details into a modern, energy-efficient exterior upgrade. Natural cedar shingles and a golden-toned wood soffit are strikingly complemented by new, triple-glazed black trimmed windows, fascia and charcoal roof shingles.
The re-cladding not only provided a much-needed aesthetic upgrade, but an opportunity for increased energy efficiency. Constructed in the late 19th century, the original home was uninsulated. During the renovation, the existing brick was removed down to the existing sheathing, and cellulose insulation was blown in between the existing studs. Rigid insulation was then installed on top to provide additional insulation, creating an R-value of over 20. All work was done from the exterior to minimize disruption to the daily lives of the occupants.
In addition to re-cladding, major accessibility upgrades include a platform lift to the accessible porch and a new entry door.

" We hired BridgmanCollaborative to find the right resurfacing approach to our 130-year old home (a triplex). Originally of beautiful brick veneer, with touches of cedar shingles, it was eventually covered in plaster to hold the brick together at some point in its history. The brick and plaster were cracked, so it was difficult to find an easy, cost-effective solution to a surface that could not be repaired or recovered. Their team stuck with us as we explored a wide range of options. They were attentive and thoughtful. They paid extremely close attention to detail. They adapted decisions to save costs, but not diminish quality, walking us through design and cost decision-making each time. They worked closely and effectively with the contractors and always followed up on issues promptly. The results are stunning. We love the way they took a historic home into the 21st century. As one person noted, of the hundreds of people who have stopped on the street to look, they transformed it "from eyesore to beauty.' " |
