What is Arcalus? @ Arcalus

What is Arcalus?

Arcalus [AR-kuh-lus] is a period design consulting resource like no other - a companion for old-house owners, architects, designers, writers, researchers, and preservation groups involved in projects where a meaningful connection to the past has high value.

Arcalus founder and owner Bo Sullivan offers hourly design consulting as well as a number of accessible fixed-price packages to help old-house owners get the most out of projects on a limited budget. Contributions and costs can be tailored to an individual project. Services include kitchen and bath design, exterior remodel guidance, architectural authenticity and integrity assessments, house history research, period color documentation, suggestions for date-specific design and product solutions, and custom-created “look books” of original interior images drawn from old books and catalogs to inspire fresh ideas today.

Get In Touch Early!

All too often, projects are brought to Arcalus after they are already well under way, when folks are starting to feel that nagging sense that maybe something is missing or the first results aren't quite coming together the way one had hoped.

Once a project has gotten rolling, it can be very hard to incorporate new understandings, reclaim missed opportunities and undo changes that might have unknowingly harmed the true character and potential of your house.

Contact Arcalus at the earliest stages of your planning process and let your home's authentic history be a powerful source of guidance and creative inspiration for the work that will follow.
