Tiny Rowhouse Renovation

This 750 sq. ft. rowhouse had not been upgraded since 1956 when the owner purchased it. The kitchen floor structure was so deteriorated that the sheet vinyl served the only support and the refrigerator was in the dining room. The bathroom was hardly wide enough to walk past the tub. Every floor had multiple layers of linoleum and every wall and ceiling surface had many layers of wallpaper.

Kate Cowing Architect, LLC designed a renovation of the whole house while meeting the owner’s strict budget requirements. The renovation included demolishing and reconstructing the one-story kitchen addition, widening and modernizing the bathroom, installing energy efficient windows and refinishing all of the surfaces.
