The Nauton House, a historic building established in 1892 in downtown Airdrie, is in need of a facade enhancement to honor its heritage while modernizing its appearance. The project aims to attract visitors and contribute to the downtown aesthetic by incorporating durable materials and contemporary design elements. The challenge is to balance historic preservation with modern appeal, aligning with Airdrie's revitalization goals. The design should incorporate hardie board for durability, integrate stacked stone elements that complement the building's historic character, and feature an updated sign highlighting its heritage. Additionally, a redesigned business directory is needed to clearly display current tenants, ensuring the building remains a vibrant and functional part of the downtown core.

The project deliverables include a comprehensive design proposal that incorporates hardie board and stacked stone elements, an updated "Nauton House Established 1892" sign, and a redesigned business directory. The design should balance historical preservation with contemporary appeal, aligning with downtown Airdrie's aesthetic goals. The final proposal should include detailed sketches or renderings, material specifications, and a brief report explaining the design choices.
