KEY ISSUES
- Field Verification of a 1903/1915 Historic Mansion and analysis of structural elements
- Conversion of existing mechanical and electrical systems to support program requirements and meet current building code standards
- Selection of new finish materials and color palette that integrate with existing restored and historic finishes
- Provide residential space for clients utilizing both shared and single units to minimize intrusion into the original bedroom layout on the second floor
- Provide handicap accessibility by threading a new elevator shaft through the existing structure, while minimizing the impact to the appearance of the historical exterior
