Fully remodel and update a typical New England double decker to meet the modern needs of a small family with professional parents and young children.
Main unit: 4 beds.
3 baths.
2019-2020.
Double and triple deckers were invented in New England in the nineteenth century to meet the housing needs of a rapidly growing population.
Today, these houses are found all over cities like Providence, Boston, and their bedroom communities.
Though their interiors are out of date, these houses can be renovated to offer a great opportunity for prospective homeowners to break into today's tight real estate market.

The client moved from Boston to Providence but wanted to preserve an urban lifestyle by living close to downtown amenities, public transportation, and bicycle lanes.
They found and purchased a very small and irregularly-shaped lot in the heart of Providence.
Fitting in everything the client wanted while meeting setback and zoning requirements was tricky.
A modern, urban-style home in the city.
