Huntington Apartment - Historical Rehabilitation

"Architecture is The Biggest Unwritten Document of History."

-Daniel Libeskind

The Huntington Apartments project involves the preservation of the historic 1870-era National Yeast Co. building, which is recognized as one of the Landmark Society of Western New York’s Five to Revive (2018). The structure is a three-story building with an attached one-story garage. The objective of the project is to transform the former automotive shop into 53 units of affordable housing apartments.

key challenge for the design team is to not only explore the possibilities of construction but also maintain the historical appearance of the building. This includes the restoration of the former mansard roof on the fourth floor and the creation of additional living units. The goal is to seamlessly blend modern functionality and amenities with the architectural heritage of the building. The design team will carefully consider historical preservation techniques and materials to ensure the project respects the building’s original character while meeting contemporary housing needs.
