About 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 for services that include kitchen/bath remodel solutions, exterior restoration guidance, architectural authenticity and integrity assessments, house history research, period color exploration, and date-appropriate design and product suggestions inspired and informed by old books and trade catalogs from the era of your home.

Arcalus also partners exclusively with Classic Sash & Door to provide unique custom entry door designs tailored specifically to your house, as well as historic window assessments and full replacement services.

The Arcalus consulting rate is $125/hour.

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.
