To get to this unique and light-filled finished space we had to start with some complicated site work. Layers of flooring and concrete were removed so we could install new plumbing, insulation and radiant tubing for the heated polished concrete floors that run throughout the first floor. Part of the roof was cut back to create an interior courtyard with a Corten steel stair that leads up to a roof deck. The pavers on the courtyard patio were discovered under wood factory floors that we removed during demo. This space is on view through the factory style windows that make up one wall of the dining room/kitchen space. Ceiling mounted gears and leather straps from the space’s previous lives were retained in the guest room. We installed built-in cabinetry in the living room and mudroom. Two bathrooms were added, including one where the shower is a barrier free space in a “wet-room”.
