We’re proud to celebrate the official completion of The Livery Guesthouse, a 120-year-old historic livery stable thoughtfully reimagined as an eight-room boutique hotel.

As construction manager, our team oversaw the renovation from start to finish, navigating the complexities of modernizing the historic structure while preserving its original character and history.

Projects like The Livery Guesthouse allow us to honor the past while building for what comes next. The project’s use of mass timber construction, including Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) and glulam columns and beams, brings modern structural innovation to the historic structure.

We’re proud of the work our team put into this three-year renovation and thankful for Santek Management, Little Architects, Charlestowne Group, and everyone who helped bring this historic property to life.
