Huning Highlands Historic Infill
How do you infill housing in an historic neighborhood? Do you restrict the build, so the home the same as it's 100+ year old neighbors? Do you build a modern structure that may or may not look comfortable juxtaposed amidst it's neighbors?
A home in Huning Highlands burned a few years ago, & as the area is an Historic Overlay Zone, the owners were allowed to build a new home on the lot, with very specific requirements. The result is a nicely-envisioned home styled after the Victorian homes in the neighborhood, seen above.
Below are some great final choices at some of the homes from the tour; some are originals like the clawfoot tub leg, below; & some were done more recently to fit the space, like the hardwood flooring in the newly-created attic room.
