Modern Transformation of Century-old Belmont MA House
In this renovation of a 100-year-old multifamily home, the upstairs owner's unit becomes an expanded duplex. The existing stair was stripped bare and re-clad in birch. The original studs, which support the roof, were lightly sanded and given a clear finish. The stain of the plaster lathe on the studs modulates the spacing of the new birch screen.
