Rather than treating the house as a time capsule, Meagher recast it through a neo-craft lens. She tapped Briana Ellis of Ritual Architecture and Megan Heacock White of House of Heacock, embracing a palette rooted in natural materials: teak, clay, and limestone. Circularity was the driving force. "e vision was to bring it back to what it had been, but also to reconnect it to its environment and allow reinterpretation through regional artists," says Meagher. Works range from repurposed bar stools and a copper-inlay fireplace to cabinet pulls and a guitar made from salvaged redwood. Whatever deconstructed materials couldn't be reused were donated to Habitat for Humanity. Meanwhile, the new Artist Flat hosts twice-yearly residencies. With a $10,000 stipend, dedicated workspace, and access to local fabricators, the residency supports creators across every discipline — writers, ecologists, craftspeople. Housed in the builder's original woodshop, it's the ultimate full-circle moment: the space where the home was born is now empowering the next generation of makers.
