Project overview
Alder House began as a compartmentalized residence with strong architectural bones but an outdated interior layout. The project called for a full transformation while preserving the scale and character that made the original home worth keeping.
The challenge
The existing structure limited natural circulation between the primary living spaces. Mechanical systems also needed significant modernization without compromising ceiling height or finished-room proportions.
Our approach
Ironwood developed the renovation around selective structural changes, coordinated mechanical upgrades, and a simplified material palette. The kitchen became the organizational center of the home, with improved sightlines and stronger connections to the surrounding rooms.

Completed result
The work should feel resolved,not simply finished.
The completed renovation feels larger without increasing the original footprint. New materials, lighting, and spatial planning give the home a contemporary identity while keeping the finished spaces grounded in the original architecture.
