THE PROJECT
PRESERVING CHARACTER.
RETHINKING THE PLAN.
Built circa 1885, the home retained much of its original character, but its original layout and systems no longer worked as well as they could.
The redevelopment reworked every level — improving the plan, finding new uses for overlooked spaces, and updating the systems behind it — while preserving what made the house worth keeping.
