Hello everyone,
I am planning a new build on my property, where there is currently an old building.
The plan was for the new build to be located further north and for the old building at the front to be demolished.
The building dates back to around 1900 and is about 150 sqm (1,615 sq ft).
The basement is damp, with water pushing in from below.
The house was heated with oil.
The ground floor looks okay, but the basement and upper floor need quite a bit of work.
What definitely needs to be replaced:
- Windows
- Electrical system
- New radiators
- New oil boiler?
- All floors
- All walls
- Possibly roof work
Around 50–60k USD (or equivalent)?
Under certain conditions, the old building could remain without demolition (I don’t want to go into detail about that here).
One idea I have:
- The garages and extension attached to the old building would be removed, and my parents would move into the old building after renovation. They are looking for a new place in a few months. The entrance would then be on the northeast side.
My father would help me financially and would also pay rent. I estimate the old building to be about 145 sqm (1,560 sq ft).
If my parents are no longer living there someday, the demolition could then take place.
What is your assessment? I have uploaded some pictures. A few architects have already visited the building but weren’t certain.

Would it actually be possible to add brick cladding to the old house? What should you pay attention to in that case? See post #3, pictures 3/4. It looks like this has already been done on the long side of a garage, apparently as a facing brick. As a retrofit, I would probably prefer brick slips instead. There should still be insulation in between, and what is your goal: modernization or just to soften the contrast with the new building?
