Renovating Our Future Office
March
Plumbing and electrical work continued throughout the space.
Office: Completed the new wall between conference room and plotter/workroom. Gutted the office bathroom.
Apartment: Gutted the third-floor “spa” bathroom, removing the outdated jacuzzi tub. We test-fit the new soaker tub to reconfigure plumbing. Gutted another bathroom on the second floor.
February
HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work started throughout the building.
Office: We replaced an undersized structural beam that was causing the uneven floor in the upstairs apartment bedroom. Framed out a new wall to close off the conference room from what will be the plotter and workroom.
Apartment: Gutted one of the bathrooms on the second floor to turn it from a half bath into a full bath. The kitchen was demo’d and we removed the wall between the kitchen and dining room, moving the electric and plumbing, for a more open feel.
January
Demolition time! Office walls came down to open up the space. Temporary bracing was installed ahead of new structural beam placement.
OUT WITH THE OLD:
(office and apartment)
applying A fresh take on the office space
The former layout featured an open entry with a series of smaller, closed-off offices and a modest conference room. We're reimagining the space with a more open and collaborative layout, including a large glass-enclosed conference room. Walls are coming down, finishes are being refreshed, and the office bathroom is getting a full renovation.
At the back of the office, a staircase leads to a tucked-away single room — this will become our new “nest”. More on that soon!
reviving the vacant Apartment
The upstairs apartment — spanning the second and third floors — had been left untouched for far too long. We're breathing new life into it, starting with:
Opening the kitchen to the dining room for a more functional and modern layout.
Leveling the floor in one of the bedrooms (the unevenness was... impressive).
Converting a half bath to a full bath on the second floor.
Fully renovating the “spa” bathroom on the third floor, including an upgrade to the infamous 5-foot circular shower. Because, why not?
Edge on East
After years of searching for the perfect location, we’ve finally found a new home for Edge Architecture and Edge Building and Construction. In late December, we purchased a beautiful multi-use building at 1657 East Avenue, located at the corner of East Avenue and Park Avenue. Renovations are well underway, and we’re aiming for an early summer move-in.
