Designed and managed site improvements and building improvements to adapt and restore historic features. Site: build a new drive and parking court using pervious paving blocks, and plant a new cathedral live oak. Building: remove concrete overlaying worn stone treads and jacking iron pickets, patch with matching material, completely remove lead based paint from walls, windows, and radiators, remove intrusive closets, and refinish floors and wainscot to original.
