from One Story to Two Story in Land Park

Antoher MFMalinowski AIA/Applied Architecture Way Second Story conversion nearing completion on Marty Way in Old Land Park. From an original 3/1 footprint we are growing a 5/3 ‘new’ old home. The clean and classic lines foretell how well the finished product will fit into the Land Park context – as if it was another 1930 cottage! Even the new master shower will show the ‘we moved up into the attic’ character. while all the amenities and energy performance are above current standards.

Something Magical in it’s own way

This unassuming single piece of paper is the culmination of years of work, millions of dollars, and thousands of man hours. This “Part 3 approval” certifies that the WAL project meets the Secretary of Interior Standards, and thus qualifies for the Historic Tax Credits – which were long ago spent during the course of the project construction.
