Conway Street
School Renovation
Historic structure integrated into new living space.
Bonham & Douglas worked with the owner/developer to transform an abandoned early 1900’s elementary school building into twelve apartments with very high energy efficiency. This project transformed a derelict building into one of the more iconic and desirable properties in town.
Revitalization through use of derelict building to provide housing.
The structure of the three story, 4500 square foot masonry building was in excellent shape, allowing the team to completely gut the interior and begin the redesign with ample freedom also while maintaining the historic character of the building’s exterior.
The reimagined design takes advantage of the tall windows and high ceilings to create spaces that are airy, light and dramatic. The second floor units each have an upper floor while the even the basement units have plenty of light and space. The entire project has an emphasis on energy conservation and efficiency features.
