The home, a three-story Victorian townhouse dating back to the 1880s, is transformed into a contemporary residence, replacing existing furnishings from the 1990s buildings and providing the owners with a comfortable home
Renovation of an Italianate Victorian townhouse. Reviving historic charm
The new family home used as an office in the 1990s is audaciously renovated by Renato D'Ettorre Architects, who skillfully honor the building's historic charm with bold design changes
Elements such as a double-height brick vaulted ceiling that is appropriate for the home's Italianate style are introduced. The rear space is redesigned to provide light and visual connection as well as access to the courtyard
The building's harmonious interior structures are preserved, including historic elements such as the ornate marble fireplaces, main staircase, and glass-paneled door. The materials that are preferred are recovered bricks, terra cotta tiles, white Carrara marble and white stuccoed walls
