What would it mean to speak of radical rehab? Imagine an approach to adaptive reuse and comprehensive revitalization so seismic and so encompassing that both home and homeowner are transformed.

I’m sure I’m not the first to propose “radical rehab” as a home renovation lifestyle. But, by and large, mainstream use and practice refers to a spectrum of therapies treating everything from bodily injury to substance abuse.

I, as usual (as always?!), am referring to radical rehabilitation of home and self through an all encompassing journey of revitalization. Reimagining. Reinvention.

The difference between try and triumph is a little umph. — Marvin Phillips

Reconsider. Re-conceive. Recycle. Repurpose. Reinvent. Reboot. AND embrace the changes and unpredictability. Surf the flux. Adventure!

Yes, our double-R emblem is a reference to Rosslyn Redux, but the watery (or mirage-like) reflection below just might be an allusion to radical rehab!

The three photographs of Rosslyn’s barns offer perspectives on the radical rehab of two (out of three) of our outbuildings over the years.
