Harrison House

Location : Harrison, NJ

Area : +/- 3,000 SF.

Typology: Multifamily

Completion: W.I.P.

This two-family home was built in 1920 — with original doors, trim, staircase, and tin ceilings intact. Despite these details, parts of the home were renovated in 2004, gracing the home with red oak cabinets and brass hardware. With a majority of the budget going towards maintenance of the building envelope and systems, we have designed a few minor layout changes that modernize the floor plan and increase the bedroom count. Kitchen renovations include painting and rearrangement of the existing cabinetry. This project is a work in progress - stay tuned for updates.

Living room with beige sectional sofa, green chair, coffee table, houseplants, and a brown dog lying on the wooden floor near the kitchen.
