Carriage House

Adaptive reuse of a XIX Century carriage storage and conversion into multifamily building of 26 residential rental units with a mix of studios, one, two bedrooms and duplexes. The design approach preserves the massive perimetral wall and adds three stories on top. A central courtyard opens the massive building to provide the requirements for light and ventilation. Inserted within the void of the historic masonry walls, a mix of piles, steel and concrete masonry units becomes the structural system of the building.
