Modern living within a historic Columbus home
Location: Victorian Village, Columbus, Ohio · Project type: Residential interior renovation
Client goal
Create an open floor plan and introduce contemporary design while complementing the home’s historic details.
Project challenge
The proposed interior changes involved removal of load-bearing walls. Exterior work also required historic review, particularly the proposed replacement of original single-pane windows and the slate roof.
Design response
The renovation paired a contemporary interior approach with the building’s existing character. Historic-review requirements shaped the exterior scope and the decisions about which original elements to retain.
Project outcome
The owner adjusted the scope to repair the original windows and slate roof rather than replace them, balancing renovation goals with historic-preservation requirements.
