HAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel 2005 Hamilton Avenue - Architectural Review Committee Presentation m(ødm) HAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel markodomstudio.com 21.02.09 2005 Hamilton Avenue The Yerwood-Simoud House, locally known as 2005 Hamilton Avenue, is an existing single family residence that was built in 1939 by Dr. Charles Yerwood, and his wife Ada Marie DeBlanc Simond. The home’s interiors were remodeled in 2014, but left the unfinished attic untouched. The Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel converts the existing attic volume into a warm, useable space for the current residences. The project completely redefines the interior experience, all while being intentionally respectful to the exterior appearance of this historic home. No additions or alterations were made to the front elevation of the home. The primary focus of the remodel is the redesign of the existing attic space, within the existing roof volume. The experience of the new volume is enhanced by the additional of 6 new “Fakro” skylights. This slim model (less than 6” from shingle to top of glass) allow sunlight to wash into the new living space, enhancing the environment, and save energy by providing natural daylight. Intentional details transport the occupant to the light filled space for reading, gathering and entertaining that complement the space main house below. In this new celebrated space, located within an existing gable, an additional seating area off of the main program that is enhanced by skylights and provide comfortable space for living. intent m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 Exterior Photos_ 2005 Hamilton Avenue -front elevation would remain as is -showing all sides of roof to receive new skylights -existing circular vents would be removed and roofing would be replaced in kind m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 Existing Conditions_ Pre-existing Attic Conditions -space currently only receives natural light from singular window -existing solar tubes to be removed/repaired in kind m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 drawings - floor plans m(ødm) markodomstudio.comHAM / Hamilton Avenue Residence Remodel21.02.09 CAR 1 CAR 2 EXISTING GRAVEL K C A B T E S D R A Y K C A B ' 5 EXISTING WOOD DECK BACK YARD EXISTING LANDSCAPE TO REMAIN 5' SIDE YARD SETBACK EXISTING DRIVE EXISTING 2-STORY SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE 5' SIDE YARD SETBACK PROPERTY LINE 25'-0" EXISTING FRONT YARD SETBACK EXISTING GRAVEL WALK P E T S E U N E V A N O T L I …

We only met collectively last evening for the first time, but would like to discuss the new approach to the project with the ARC, so as we revise and develop the design, we will have the benefit of their insight. We’d like to talk thru the new approach when we have an opportunity to present tomorrow, but below are some ideas we are exploring: 1. In maintaining the character of the house, can we increase the height (modify) the eye brow windows so that they could have vision from interior to the street, become operable, et cetera? 2. Restore and enhance public way|view consistent with original design (in scale and proportion, materiality, detail), but would like to adjust positioning of elements so they relate to exterior façade properly and the interior configuration. 3. Maintaining roof style and detailing, but raise ridge line by (+/- 2’-0”) to allow for more liveable|usable square footage on second floor. 4. Remove existing elements that were not in keeping with original house (vertical fence siding, boarded over windows, non-appropriate architectural elements etc….). Bad renovations that have taken place thru the years. 5. Restore and|or match materials when needed due to rot, not functioning, etc…. 6. Enhance materiality to original historic intent (for example, instead of asphalt shingle, if budget permits, slate shingle, copper detailing, etc…?)
