In an age of disposable creation, Patrick Muth's hands remember what most have forgotten.

His story begins with two extraordinary men: a master carpenter who documented war-torn India through his lens, and a corporate strategist whose analytical mind helped build one of America's most iconic companies. From these two grandfathers—one who built with his hands, another who constructed with concepts—Patrick inherited not just skills, but ways of seeing that have defined his unique vision.

At 18, life took a pivotal turn. Photography became his language, renovation his canvas. Without knowing he was continuing a family legacy, he found himself drawn to the very mediums that had defined his grandfather's life decades earlier.

Now based in Jersey City, Patrick transforms century-old Victorian homes into masterpieces of preservation, uncovering hidden architectural treasures that others would overlook. His renovation work has been described as "archaeological craftsmanship"—part restoration, part revelation.

When not breathing new life into historical spaces, Patrick's eye turns to the American landscape. His decade-long photographic journey across the country captures both monumental vistas and intimate details with the same careful composition that characterizes his renovation work.

The coffee table in his apartment—crafted by his grandfather's hands—stands as a daily reminder of what truly lasts: not trends or technologies, but craftsmanship and vision passed through generations.

Patrick doesn't just restore spaces. He reveals what they were always meant to be.

His work isn't merely about preservation. It's about seeing possibility where others see decay, and creating continuity in a world obsessed with constant change.

In both his craftsmanship and his photography, Patrick Muth doesn't just document the present or restore the past.

He builds bridges between them.
