This 3,600 s.f. four bedroom, 3½
bath single family residence is a complete
renovation of and addition to an existing masonry
two flat.
The character of the front
elevation was maintained by opening up the original
masonry window openings which has been partially
filled in order to capture more natural light.
Limestone accents were added at the cornice and
entry surround to replace damaged masonry caused by
years of neglect. A custom designed steel canopy
and an open rail metal stair with limestone treads
were added as lighter visual elements to complement
the weight of the solid masonry façade.
Interior features for this
project, include custom designed staircase with
painted and stained oak handrail, natural cherry
hardwood kitchen cabinetry with granite countertops.
The new stairway features a skylight above and
custom designed stained glass windows. All windows
were replaced, and where feasible, in the original
window openings. All existing building systems were
replaced to complete a project that functions like a
new house while maintaining the look of the existing
structure. |
