Plan Updates

Unit Plans
The building plans break out to six units per floor ranging in size from approximately
800 s.f. to 1400 s.f.

Demolition Plans
When doing the demo plans I tried to take into account any significant features that were worth saving. There are many of the units that have existing fireplaces that will be saved and put into working order for a gas log system. There are also a couple of units that have the original tin ceilings that have been really well preserved. Both were covered up with a drop ceiling.
First Floor Plan
The first floor has existing businesses that are to remain. The only changes here will be the addition of the rear stair tower/elevator, some site upgrades and some exterior facade improvements.

Second Floor
The second floor retains much of the original trim, the fireplaces and the tin ceilings in units two and three. The large mechanical room is for one of the businesses located on the first floor.

Third Floor
The third floor follows along with the second floor in keeping or reusing the original trim, tin ceilings and fireplaces.

Building Section
The section through the now open light well that will be enclosed. This makes the space a little more usable and will actually be the walkways that will allow circulation from the front to the back. Since this building was designed with the idea of natural circulation using transoms above the doors, I have set the light well up so that there are operable windows at the top to allow a stack effect.
