Nestled in Attleboro, MA, this historic 122-year-old building is not just a structure; it is a fully occupied, government-subsidized apartment complex dedicated to seniors and individuals with disabilities. Tackling this design-assist renovation is no walk in the park; it’s a monumental undertaking that goes beyond mere cosmetic improvements.

Project Highlights:

• Interior Renovations:
  • Phased renovation of 12 units every 6 weeks while the building remained 100% occupied
  • Installation of a hybrid VRF heating & cooling system tailored to all 92 units
  • New mechanical and boiler systems for improved energy efficiency
  • Enhanced life-safety systems for resident protection
  • Electrical infrastructure upgrades including trenching for a new transformer, electric switchgear, and a backup generator
  • Elevator modernization: new ADA-compliant elevator and full upgrade of existing unit
• Exterior and Site Enhancements
  • Complete roof replacement with updated coverings and edge protection
  • New energy-efficient windows and durable siding
  • Revitalized building envelope for long-term durability and performance
  • New canopy and ADA-compliant ramp to improve entry access
  • Outdoor amenity additions: covered pergola, built-in grills, and communal seating
  • Refreshed landscaping and walkways for improved accessibility and resident enjoyment
