Project Narrative
Overview & Background
The Grand Aethelgard represents an extraordinary synthesis of historic architectural conservation and modern five-star hospitality amenities. DIV6 was entrusted with restoring the historic grand lobby, tea salon, and ballroom, while fabricating contemporary luxury millwork for 140 guest suites and two Michelin-starred dining venues.
Detailed Scope
Scope of Work & Assemblies
Comprehensive restoration of over 12,000 sq ft of original Old Growth Honduran mahogany wall paneling, replication of missing ornamental rosettes and dentil moldings, new bespoke walnut cocktail bar and lounge seating, custom suite hospitality credenzas, and custom bathroom vanities with integrated bronze metalwork.
Engineering Execution
Challenges & Engineered Solutions
Technical Challenges
Stringent historical preservation tax credit requirements dictated that no original sound lumber could be discarded. Additionally, 95-year-old plaster walls and unlevel substrate slabs required bespoke field scribing on every panel without altering the original structural reveals.
Engineered Solutions
We set up a temperature-controlled on-site restoration laboratory staffed by master wood conservators to clean, stabilize, and re-finish original millwork in place. For areas requiring replacement, we ethically sourced reclaimed vintage lumber matched for grain density and age patina, securing unanimous landmark preservation commission approval.
