$1M - 5M
The major renovation of this 3-storey, wood-framed, 1920’s character building sought to maintain the street presence of the structure while comprehensively upgrading all systems and interiors. By re-working layouts within existing demising modules, the project allowed an increase from 14 to 19 rental units, along with new shared amenity spaces. In the process, units were updated to align with contemporary lifestyles, complete with modern fixtures and built-ins.
As part of the renovation, a large cache of antiquated building components were diverted from waste streams, and embedded in the building’s new expression. As a kind of architectural archive, these components each bear the traces of the building’s history, and preserve the narratives of its previous inhabitants. Plaster on lathe, inlaid oak flooring, cast iron tubs, and wood panel doors were all refurbished in place. Materials that could not remain were up-cycled into new installations, encapsulating the building’s history for future generations.
New features such as a central, shared staircase are modern in expression, juxtaposing existing construction. Turning on its head the notion of history as a black and white photo, the new, modern stair “insertion” is rendered in neutral black and white, leaving the existing construction to endure in living colour.
