New open-plan layouts now provide the best qualities of urban, loft-like living. On the upper floors, a new nursery, new bedrooms, and master suite were realized. Spirited interior details and finishes now produce light-filled uplifting spaces with current contemporary styling throughout.
This interior gut-renovation to a multistory townhome listed on the historical register posed many technical and aesthetic challenges. Close evaluation of the existing structure revealed many shortfalls. Key issues addressed in our plans included correcting building code deficiencies; replacing substandard systems; repairing unstable structure; and reworking confused layouts.
Existing stairs were removed and replaced with new code-compliant ones serving all 4 levels. A new fire suppression system was added and fire-resistant, rated construction introduced to ensure safety. Plumbing, electrical, and mechanical systems were completely replaced. Faulty structure was reinforced or reconstructed. As well, all floor plans were redesigned to suit the Owner’s preferences and needs.
