Norfolk Home Renovation

RBA was tasked with transforming a fire-damaged older home into a bright, modern coastal retreat. The renovation preserved the home's structural integrity while introducing clean lines, natural light, and coastal materials. The result is a refreshed space that honors its history while embracing a relaxed, contemporary lifestyle by the water.

Scope of Work

The Challenge

Hidden fire-related damage to framing, foundation, or roof systems often required extensive investigation and reinforcement. Balancing the retention of original architectural features with the introduction of modern design can require creative solutions.

Coastal properties are often subject to strict zoning, floodplain, and environmental protection rules that impact design and construction, so RBA had to ensure compliance with all local and state regulations.
