A historic renovation to an existing Italianate-style building, circa 1855. The exterior of the building is to be preserved as it was originally built, while the interiors are being rebuilt into 6 condominium units.
201-203 STATE STREET, Portland, ME : current project, 2009-2010
Renovation Strategy: The existing load bearing brick building is in a severely dilapidated state due to its long history as a rooming house. The challenge has involved balancing the preservation of the exterior while entirely reorganizing the interior into 6 beautiful living units. The solutions include a reorganization of the entrance, circulation within the narrow building, and structural and energy improvements to the building envelope.
