912 Elmwood Ave

Located at 912 Elmwood Ave, this project involved the revitalization of a 130-year-old historic house, reimagining its storefront to harmonize with both its architectural legacy and modern needs. The design thoughtfully integrates the original elements with contemporary updates, preserving the building’s character while enhancing its functionality for today’s use. A natural cedar wood finish was selected to complement the adjacent wine store at the ground level, with the same material incorporated into the design of the upper deck (currently under construction). This upper deck will function as a canopy, providing shelter for the wine store’s outdoor deck below. Given the building’s prominent location on a busy pedestrian street, the revitalization is key to injecting new life into the area, improving both its aesthetic appeal and the overall pedestrian experience.
