Terra Nova Builds

06/08/2026

An exciting next chapter is ahead.

If you’ve seen the “For Sale” sign at our office, you’re not mistaken, our building owner has listed the property, which means we’ll be moving to a new space later this year.

This office has been a meaningful part of our story and a place where so many relationships have grown. We’re grateful for the sense of community and belonging that has been built here over the years.

At the same time, we’re really looking forward to what’s next and creating a space that better supports our team and the work we love.

Terra Nova Builds and Revives isn’t changing, just our address.

We’ll share more as plans come together. If you’d like a little more background, you can read our update here https://terranovabuilds.com/blog/

We’re grateful to sponsor and support events that care for our community well. The Chamber’s Spring Clean saw a record breaking turnout, with neighbors coming together to recycle responsibly and donate items for people and pets in need. This is the kind of collective impact that strengthens a place. Thank you to everyone who showed up, volunteered, and made a difference. 💚

This weekend gave us a meaningful opportunity to pause and reflect.

Being named Business Persons of the Year by the Kirkwood Des Peres Area Chamber of Commerce is an honor we are deeply grateful for and a reminder that none of us build anything alone.

This recognition belongs to the people who show up every day. Our team, who carries both the pressure and the purpose with care. Our clients, who trust us with their homes and their stories. Our families, partners, and community, who support the work quietly behind the scenes.

We have learned that the challenges of small business are not just obstacles. They are a privilege. A chance to build something meaningful, grow through the highs and lows, and keep showing up with intention. Not for accolades, but because we believe in serving well, honoring a legacy rooted in faith and integrity, and contributing positively to the community we are grateful to be part of.

We carry this recognition with gratitude and humility. It represents far more than a moment. It reflects the people, values, and relationships that continue to shape our work every day.

Every home has a story.
And so does every year.
As we look back on 2025, what stands out most isn’t just the projects we completed—it’s the people. The clients who trusted us, the team who showed up every day, and the values that guided every decision along the way.
We shared our full reflection in our latest blog post, and we’d love for you to read it.

City Council: Stop the demolition of 751 N Taylor Ave, Kirkwood, MO

01/29/2026

We are so saddened to read about the plans to demolish another one of Kirkwood’s historic homes. This beautiful home, with more than 150 years of history, has been part of the fabric of the community for generations.

Preserving the history and stories of homes like these is exactly why Terra Nova Revives was created. We believe every home has a story worth saving and can be thoughtfully reimagined for modern families while honoring what makes it special. Our mission is rooted in sustainability, community, and respect for the craftsmanship and character of older homes.

If you know of a historic, charming, or character-rich property that deserves preservation rather than demolition, we’re searching for our next project. 🏡✨ Let’s work together to save more homes with history and heart.

Unless its owners have a quick change of heart, a historic home in Kirkwood will be demolished come March.

01/12/2026

As we reflect on 2025 and celebrate 25 years of Terra Nova, we’re reminded that our work has always been about more than homes, it’s about relationships.

We’re deeply grateful to the clients who trusted us, the partners who collaborated with us, and the team who brings care and craftsmanship to every detail. Thank you for being part of our story and allowing us to continue doing what we love.💚
