Originally built in the 1870s to fabricate the cabinets for the Peabody Museum at Harvard University, this triangular brick structure on Oxford St. in Cambridge was in total disrepair at the beginning of the project. All new structural LVLs and steel framing were installed at the floor, and the upstairs space was transformed into a very large living, dining, and kitchen area with adjoining bedrooms. The downstairs now includes a foyer, bath, garage, and weaver’s studio. Radiant in-floor heat is covered with reclaimed heart pine floors and tile. We also built a new custom arts and crafts staircase with in-layed purple heart and heart pine rails. Custom shaker style painted cabinetry and reclaimed pine countertops are installed in the kitchen. Arch top windows are from Architectural Openings in Somerville, MA. Project was designed by Howard Van Vleck.
