The Archive
Your home finally has a memory.
The Archive is your home’s record in one place: on your phone or computer, and it stays with your home.
Your home can now answer for itself. Press a question.
From the example home’s record
The colour, the finish and where it came from.

Kept with the job that used it. Never search the shed for the paint tin again.
Wrenfield opens in the Archive, on this screen, for you to tap through. The home and its jobs are made up; the trades shown are real, as examples only.
What the Archive keeps for you
When something goes wrong
Your water, power and gas shut-offs marked on your home, and who to call. No searching in the dark.
Every job and every record
Invoices, warranties, plans and photos, filed by room and by job, so the next trade starts from what is known.
Through the seasons
What your home needs, why it matters, and what happens if it waits.
What Stewarded is
One record of your home, and the people who work on it.

The Archive’s first release
Be among the first homes on record.
The Archive is opening by invitation. Tell us about your home. We read every request.
The founding membership is by invitation. It goes first to the owners whose homes the founding company has looked after over the years. For new homes, it is our thank-you to those who support the vision early: five years of the Archive at half price, paid once. That is $987.50 for each home. It is open until 100 homes have joined.
Or join year by year, at $395 a year.
