The Decatur Design Awards Recognize Renewal Design-Build for Excellence in Preservation and Design
Renewal is proud to announce that we were recently honored with three awards at the 2013 Decatur Design Awards Ceremony. The awards are bestowed upon entries that improve, preserve or add to the architectural environment of both homes and businesses in the city of Decatur. We are grateful for the positive recognition for our design solutions, and we are thankful to our wonderful clients who make winning these awards possible.
One of our recently completed whole house renovations was recognized with a 2013 Historic Preservation Award. This bungalow style home from the 1920’s was in a serious state of disrepair before we were called in to remodel both the interior and exterior of the home. The entire interior was gutted to create an open floor plan with a rustic farmhouse style that includes modern conveniences and industrial details. Significant improvements were made to the exterior siding, porches, windows, doors, foundation, trim and roof, all under the approval of the Decatur Historic Commission to ensure that the renovations and addition were consistent with the character of the neighborhood.

We also received a 2013 Addition Award for a home addition designed and built for a family that was outgrowing their home. The value of this highly functional addition is not just in the three extra bedrooms, modern kitchen, and spacious mudroom, but in its added character and absolute seamlessness of the project. Renewal was able to successfully preserve the period of their 1940s home and the Decatur neighborhood. The keeping room features a wood burning fireplace, custom built-ins, and French doors leading out to the backyard. The exterior is a showpiece all on its own. From the charming color choices to the trim detailing, the addition enhances the home in every way. We were able to match the design of the room, both its exterior and interior design, to the rest of the home, which boasted a 1940’s style. View this home addition.
Renewal also received the coveted 2013 Leila Ross Wilburn Award for helping promote preservation in Decatur as members of the Decatur Old House Fair committee.
