Columbia : Master Bath

Creeley : Addition/Renovation Design

This small cottage presents many challenges. The client wants to maintain the charm of scale and detail while increasing functionality. The second floor of the house is very restricted in terms of access and headroom.It is located on an undersized lot that restricts the placement of any additions. It is also subject to design review by the Historic District Commission. The design is currently in Schematic Design and extensive building and zoning code review is being performed to determine the exact limitations on the proposed additions and renovations. Green building practices will be incorporated into the design in a variety of ways: including material selection, energy efficient wall systems, natural cooling systems and rainwater collection.

Cushing Street- Exterior Renovations

Restoration of this Stone,Carpenter & Wilson house includes clapboard replacement, restoration of the porch columns and railing and fabrication of a new handrail to match the original as designed in 1896. Additional work includes new flashing installed, slate replaced and a replica of the original copper chimney cap fabricated. aOi prepared a full application for Certificate of Appropriateness for the Historic District Commission with restoration work performed by New Life Painting and Owens Carpentry.

Roye- Deck & Landscape

The challenge of this project was to incorporate a handicapped accessible ramp for the client which had an elevation change of more than 42" without it being obtrusive. The final design included masonry planting beds, which acted as structural components for the deck as well as softening the large expanse of both deck and ramp. The deck was constucted of sustainably grown Mangaris Mahogany and utilized a hidden fastening system. The masonry walls are capped with poured in place stained concrete which, compared to the slate alternative, reduced the cost and environmental impact. The design extended to include landscape revisions, including the relocation of several existing trees.

Cole Avenue- Interior Design/Renovation

The renovation of this c.1920 home was a result of major water damage. The scope of work included reconstruction/refinishing of the walls, ceilings, and floors on the majority of the first floor and portions of the second floor. In addition, the majority of the plumbing, electrical, and HVAC had to be replaced as a result of the water damage. All of these systems were upgraded in the process to be more efficient and meet current building codes. The client elected to improve the design of several other areas during the process of the repair work including a full redesign of three bathrooms, reconfiguration of a bedroom to include an adjacent area, reuse of a closet as a bar area and redesign of a closet area into a laundry room.
