An original gable leads to a new roof deck in the owner’s unit capturing unused space and providing privacy.


The design also moved the front entrance for the larger unit to the avenue-facing elevation, giving it prominence with a new set of stairs and a distinctive, sheltering roof; the architect enhanced the entrance to the smaller unit on the street side with an attractive and traditional front porch.


Having salvaged and dignified the building envelope, Wood who not only completed the renovation, but also designed the interiors replaced the inefficienct warren of small rooms on the two main floors with Berlon’s more open plan. This change required the removal of a couple of load-bearing walls, and their replacement with steel beams and a minimum of partitions.


“I’ve done a lot of renovations, so it had become a challenge to find one that stretched me in a different way,” notes Wood. This time, he had to put together a team for the steel work. Because most steel framers in his area only did large commercial projects, finding the right combination of people and skills meant drawing on his own resources, with the final group of eight managing the project, in Wood’s words, “like a high-tech barn raising.” With its skin and skeleton in place, the new program got some good green details.
