A Historic Mansard Renovation In Newport, RI

This 2014 pro bono renovation project was a significant milestone in Nicholas' career, representing his first solo design effort, and although it did not progress into the construction phase, the meticulously executed drawings and vibrant color renderings continue to serve as a strong testament to his design skills and attention to detail. While retaining the original home's spirit, he recreated most of the exterior, bringing new life and vitality to the structure, and modernized the interior into a contemporary living space that blended old and new seamlessly. He also added a new roof deck on the smaller two-story massing on the right side of the home, creating a focal point for outdoor entertainment with a breathtaking view and a sleek, modern design that complemented the overall aesthetic. Overall, this pro bono renovation was a resounding success, showcasing Nicholas' ability to transform an older home with creativity and precision, and it remains a valuable and inspiring part of his portfolio..
