Adaptive Reuse - the aesthetic process that adapts buildings for new uses while retaining their historic features. Using an adaptive reuse model can prolong a building's life, from cradle-to-grave, by retaining all or most of the building system, including the structure, the shell and even the interior materials.
It all begins with an idea. What to do with a church that is over 170 years old? Tear it down, or get creative? We take the approach to be delicate and try to preserve the character of the existing building. See our vision come to life in this prospective project illustrations produce by our in-house design team.
Preliminary Concept Direction
Our in house design team is in the early stages of considering how best to preserve this historical structure. Our initial design moves have been focusing on opening up the already 14 foot high ceilings to expose the rough truss structure above. With the space being already vastly open, our goal was to create two twin focal points; the primary family fireplace and the secondary hearth stove. The kitchen matches the living room scale by boasting dual height cabinetry and a 12 foot island. The upstairs will also attempt to preserve and refinish the decorative tin wall covering which should give the space a splash of the original character on every wall. The downstairs features three bedrooms, a master suite with dedicated full bath, as well as a mudroom/linen room and secondary bathroom.
