Reuse, renovate and redesign existing multi-family residential buildings to accommodate contemporary living. The existing internal conditions were largely disorganized and in total need of repair. With the goal of celebrating the buildings’ historic character the goal is to carefully incorporate 11 residential floor plans to allow for the entire re-use of the buildings.
Reconfiguration of the floor plans now allow for 11 contemporary living spaces within the charm of a 1902 structure with authentic detailing across its masonry and limestone façade.
The new apartments are ideal for co-habitating for unrelated Ph.D. or young processionals as the location is close to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Kendall Square. Each unit was re-configured and designed with increased efficiencies and storage in the kitchen (anticipating multiple individual users), a second bathroom, and a third bedroom, all within a modest footprint.
