About This Project

The Suite Change project involved a comprehensive remodel of an upper apartment within a historic brick and slate building in Portland, Maine, originally designed by renowned architect John Calvin Stevens in the late 19th century. This venerable structure, which had undergone multiple alterations over the years, was transformed to enhance functionality, aesthetic appeal, and overall comfort. The primary focus was on improving the interior circulation, main bedroom, bathroom, laundry area, and lighting to create a seamless living experience. The design strategy emphasized contemporary elegance while respecting the building's historical integrity. The dark and narrow hallway that previously separated the living spaces from the kitchen was reimagined, fostering an open and inviting atmosphere. The main bedroom, previously accessed by a steep and narrow stair, was reconfigured to ensure easier access, thereby enhancing daily usability. The exterior deck, once tucked away in a closet, was repositioned to become a more accessible feature of the apartment, allowing for outdoor enjoyment. In terms of materials, the project utilized high-quality finishes that reflect modern design trends while ensuring durability and efficiency. The bathroom and laundry services were meticulously redesigned, with an emphasis on both aesthetics and practicality. New fixtures and layouts not only revitalized these spaces but also significantly improved their functionality, making them more user-friendly and appealing. The outcome of the Suite Change project is a beautifully remodeled condo that seamlessly blends contemporary design with the charm of its historic roots. The transformation has resulted in a bright, airy, and efficient living space that caters to the needs of modern living while preserving the unique character of the original architecture. This project serves as a testament to the potential of adaptive reuse in enhancing the livability of historic buildings, making it an ideal choice for clients seeking quality craftsmanship and innovative design solutions.
