729 20th Street - Historic Residential Renovation
West Palm Beach, FL
RESIDENTIAL
“Renovating a historic home is more than restoring walls—it's about reclaiming the stories and spirit that once made a house a home.”
The restoration of 729 20th Street in the city’s historic Northwest district is a significant historical restoration project for AHA. Originally a 1930s-era vernacular, one-story residence, the project focused on preserving the home’s original character—its scale, materiality, and contextual harmony—while upgrading it to modern living standards. We highlighted the importance of “honoring the past” through thoughtful, sensitive restoration and integrating green technologies to make the property both timeless and environmentally conscious.
The project typifies our broader ethos: meticulous repair of historic fabric (windows, trim, structural elements) and discreet insertion of contemporary amenities to uplift comfort and efficiency without compromising authenticity. Through restoration efforts like this, AHA contributes to South Florida’s architectural legacy, ensuring historic neighborhoods remain vibrant and relevant for future generations.
