MDR Design+Build

Old homes deserve modern comfort, without compromising their soul.

✔️ Knob-and-tube wiring replaced
✔️ Cast-iron plumbing upgraded
✔️ Steam humidifier added

All completed without disturbing the original lath-and-plaster walls, preserving the home’s historic integrity while future-proofing it behind the scenes.

Preserving heritage isn’t about freezing time, it’s about respectful evolution.

From original architectural profiles to period-appropriate finishes, this renovation was guided by one principle: honour what already exists. Every update was designed to feel as though it had always belonged.

You only get one first impression, and this one’s unforgettable.

An arched double oak front door now welcomes guests with timeless charm and serious curb appeal.

This renovation blended old-world charm with modern functionality, producing a home that feels both rooted in tradition and perfectly tailored for contemporary living.

Two staircases, one incredible transformation.

We rebuilt both the basement and second-floor stairs with seamless oak treads, spindles, and handrails, opening up the main hallway for better flow and natural light.

Even utilitarian spaces deserve thoughtful design.

This combined laundry and pantry room is elevated by a striking arched oak doorway, bringing architectural depth and timeless character to a space often overlooked.

Seamlessly blending form and function, it’s a testament to how every room in a home can reflect beauty and intention.
