About Brett
This isn’t just an architectural design show with an actor as the host. This is expert knowledge from Brett Waterman, working with the same production team that brought you seven seasons of Restored.
Brett has been restoring historic structures for more than 30 years in Southern California and beyond. His unique approach to restoration is rooted in the historical understanding of each property and how the structure was originally designed. Brett’s projects have ranged in style of architecture from Victorian to Mid-Century Modern. He has a passion and love for all buildings large and small. He has restored 10,000 square foot mansions with extensive gardens to 700 square foot cottages in small towns.
His portfolio of design work demonstrates how any home or building can meet the needs of a modern-day lifestyle without sacrificing architectural integrity. Brett’s preservation goals are to ensure that each home or project is designed and restored to be sustainable and timeless in hopes that we are saving our architectural history and open spaces for future generations.
Brett lives in Redlands, California, and he has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA).
