This Landmark Structure was erected in 1922 and saw many additions and renovations over time. The design process began by peeling away all the layers to uncover the original footprint. Once uncovered, the original structure dictated the scale of the addition, telling the story from the outside and guiding the interior flow.

The composition resulted in Mevrou being composed of two volumes: a strong, single form of concrete plastered walls remaining from the original, more formal structure, contrasted by the exposed brick form of the new addition. New details, such as the fireplace mantel, were based on features original to the home that were lost during its lifetime of renovations. The original and new structures melding seamlessly together tell Mevrou’s long story, and make it a beautiful home to continue crafting the tale.
