Projects
THE EDBROOKE
Denver CO, USA
(1-bed/ 2-bath, 1600 sqft.)
This loft is in the Edbrooke Building in downtown Denver. This unique warehouse building is listed on the National Historic Registry. From a storied history, the industrial nature within the Edbrooke building has been transformed along with what is now a vibrant downtown. It was once a location of material production, along the train lines, passing through downtown Denver. The Edbrooke is only 0.2 miles from the newly reopened Denver Union Terminal, the primary transportation hub of the region. Originally built in 1905 as a warehouse, the Edbrooke was repurposed into residential units in 1989.
LINCOLN HOUSE
Sudbury MA, USA
(3-bed / 3-bath, 2700 sq. ft.)
The design idea was a “treehouse”, intended for living with and within nature. Our goal was to utilize access and appreciation of the ecological system and natural habitat of the property while drastically increasing the efficiency of the mechanical and environmental systems of the house. This home, nestled in wetland conservation land, lies in Sudbury, Massachusetts. Originally a two-story bungalow with three bedrooms and one bathroom, it was renovated to add a second story for the living and dining areas.
C.I.A.O. STUDIO
Sant'Angelo in Pontano, Marche Italy
(6-bed / 7-bath, 3000 sq. ft.)
This 120-year-old farmhouse has been repurposed into a studio facility for sustainable architectural research. The old stone and brick structure and its adjacent agricultural land have been updated to accommodate visiting students in a learning environment while living with nature. This multipurpose studio/home is located in the rolling hills of Marche, Italy. The Center for Introduction to Architecture Overseas (C.I.A.O.) seasonally uses the building to house its students for educational architecture programs. A significant restoration began in 2018, which included an additional two bedrooms, five bathrooms, a new kitchen, and an expanded living room. Secondly, because of a major earthquake in 2016, the roof and floor diaphragm of the third floor was updated to meet seismic requirements. The total mechanical strategy included the provision for future solar and wind-powered energy.
