Size: 1100 sq. ft.

Program: Renovate a poorly laid out and constructed two bedroom, two bathroom condominium that has views over the Charles River ro support a quality life style for sophisticated living.

Specific requirements:

• Provide a cooks kitchen with lots of counter space in a very small area.
• Provide for a more gracious living and dining layout.
• Provide a new entry with enough closet space for guests.
• Make a real master bathroom from the two small spaces that existed.
• Provide for a large book collection.
• Provide for more closet storage, especially for the master bedroom area.
• Provide space for laundry machines.
• Provide for improved lighting for lilluminating the walls and the spaces

The project began with the understanding that the entire condominium unit needed renovation. The bathrooms were in poor condition, and the kitchen had almost no storage. The long hallway, typical in a floor-through configuration, was dark and narrow. We designed an extensive alteration to the entrance, both bathrooms and the kitchen. The master suite was completely altered so that the bathroom was generous and the bedroom layout provided views of the street as well as the second fireplace.
