Custom Period or Vernacular Renovation “Clauss Haus II shows something that’s less about the fancy finishes and more about doing the right thing to this sad house, bringing it back to life,” a judge said.

The architects rose to the task without removing walls, window and door locations, flooring, trim, or woodwork, “letting the house really do the talking,” Marilyn says.
