Project overview
Contrary to expectations, Thor Studios underwent a remarkable transformation into a picturesque farmhouse-style residence while preserving its original Greek Revival architectural elements within its existing footprint. The design process commenced with the removal of the majority of the first floor interior walls, thereby expanding the living space while simultaneously supporting the second floor with concealed steel columns and beams. Subsequently, the existing stairway was eliminated, and a newly configured stairway was repositioned within the footprint to optimize circulation and harmonize with the second floor layout.
The renovated home now features an open first floor plan that seamlessly connects the newly constructed galley kitchen to the dining and living room areas. Additionally, a much-needed storage and bathroom have been incorporated. On the second floor, a new laundry room has been installed, utilizing storage designed to accommodate under the eaves in previously unused spaces, as well as three bedrooms and a full bathroom.
The existing porch was removed and rebuilt with a standing seam roof and a beamed entry gable over the original entrance door. The porch ceiling was constructed from reclaimed existing second floor flooring. Ultimately, the porch has been transformed into an ideal spot for enjoying the Bristol 4th of July parade route.
