Reinventing through Renovation
Can the

efficiency live together? We ask the question of

Portsmouth, NH. With help from Michael Bruss of Bruss
Construction and Integrated Building Energy
Associates they are in the trenches – full of water
and rotten sills – as they attempt to make an old
house work as a contemporary office. What stories can
these walls tell?
