Historic, contemporary, and LEED Platinum
This renovation and addition to an 1870 townhome pays homage to the past with an eye toward the future.
Problem
How do we radically upgrade the performance of an 1870 masonry townhouse while respecting its history? And how do we create an addition that is distinctly contemporary, yet fits with its historic context?
As both the architects and sustainability consultants on this project, we worked closely with the owners to develop a design that weaves together their vision with performance goals and historic requirements.
