“In just one day, Birch Group reclaimed 9-foot Tuscan doors, crystal chandeliers, onyx countertops, and more from this $8M Minnesota home once featured on the BBC, preserving its legacy through skilled, careful deconstruction.”
This modern Orono estate showcased luxury and craftsmanship, and Birch Group was entrusted to reclaim its one-of-a-kind features. In just one day, our skilled team carefully deconstructed and salvaged the home’s high-end materials, ensuring nothing of value went to waste.
Standout pieces included a pure crystal chandelier, which found a new home in a restaurant in Fargo, and a custom large table and office desk crafted by the renowned Henredon furniture makers. Every item was handled with precision, reflecting our commitment to sustainable deconstruction and circular reuse.
