38,000 square foot renovation


A landmark 38,000 square foot building in Conway, New Hampshire that originally was a retail building.  Recently it was a headquarters for a electric medical records software company.  With most of their staff shifting to remote work settings, the building became available.  A local family that owns a large amount of retail and hospitality resources pursued transforming the building to 24 apartments along with self storage and a new location for their administrative offices.  The apartments are hoped to allow for more affordable abodes by having a smaller 750 square or so footprint.  These single bedroom units have the bedrooms mostly situated in second floor lofts.  This was a bit like designing a 38,000 square foot watch so as to get the most amount of living space to fit within the existing footprint.  The size and complexity of the original design was quite a thing to measure and create the 3D model and drawings for.  It was quite a mind twister.  It was cool to only need four dormers with regards to the exterior modifications.
