Flanked by two new wings, the early-century home has become the "old main" of an adaptive reuse Adaptive reuse is the process of adapting old structures for new purposes. When the original use of a structure changes or is no longer required, as with older buildings from the industrial revolution, architects have the opportunity to change the primary function of the project that preserves its gracious style and presence. Creating a u-shaped configuration with the mansion at its base, Robert J. Verrier, AIA AIA - Application Integration Architecture , NCARB NCARB National Council of Architectural Registration Boards , extended the home on both sides of its main facade, designing deep new residential wings to envelope a central courtyard. The new construction provides 76 assisted living units, most with woodland views, allowing the existing structure to hold common areas. As a result, residents enjoy the ambience of the mansion, including an oak-paneled library that was preserved. Verrier aimed for seamless transition between old and new spaces and carefully selected harmonious and complementary--but not identical--building materials and forms. Program-wise, the emphasis is on community and interaction. And what better way to foster entertaining and socializing than to offer such opportunities in a grand manse? JURY'S TAKE: Dan Morris: "The new wings respect the original vernacular in scale and massing." Robert Volzer: "An excellent example of a sensitive adaptive reuse." Lorraine Hiatt: "...a pleasing integration of styles." RELATED ARTICLE: PROJECT SNAPSHOT: Owner: MES-Wayland Assisted Living LLC (Logical Link Control) See "LANs" under data link protocol.
