Scope Of Work
How do you add more living space to a historic home, when faced with zoning restrictions? One way is by converting to a mansard roof, to gain room upstairs. This Cambridge Victorian, built in 1872, underwent a renovation in the 1970’s, and yet the bedrooms were still too small, and the living space was disjointed. A new mansard roof design allowed us to play with the footprint of the house to gain square footage, while taking advantage of unused attic space.
