The Landmark at Strong Place

Exterior of a brownstone church after we refurbished and converted the building into condo units

This unique adaptive reuse project involved converting a historic 1850s Gothic Revival Church designed by Minard Lafever into residential units.

The building had been abandoned and was no longer habitable, but we took great care to preserve the Gothic architectural details of the building's outer shell.

Inserting new floorplates and windows allowed us to create 23 units, each unique in character and in relationship to the building.
