Remodeling for Old City homes
Old City is part historic rowhome district and part loft-conversion neighborhood, with cast-iron façades and 19th-century commercial buildings reborn as residential. Both setups have constraints: historic exteriors, original framing, freight logistics inside converted buildings, and condo associations with real opinions.
We plan around those constraints from the consultation forward. Inside lofts, we coordinate with building management on freight, elevators, and work hours. Inside historic rowhomes, we plan structural and exterior work around Historic Commission review windows.
Kitchens in Old City
Loft kitchens here usually need a layout that resolves an awkward leftover wall and a real island that fits the column grid. Rowhome kitchens get a custom-cabinetry reset and proper appliance integration.

Bathrooms in Old City
Loft baths are often slab-on-grade with concrete substrates — that changes how we waterproof, how we route drains, and how we finish tile. We design around the building, not against it.
