While the factory here has long been shuttered, the original sales office building c. 1910 survives. Over decades, the building was enlarged and adapted by its longtime owner into a unique custom residence, with great respect for the scale and character of the original structure. Decorative brickwork—inside and out—serves as a subtle homage to the site’s industrial heritage, ensuring that the architecture remains tied to its place.

The design approach balances historic craftsmanship with contemporary refinement. Many of the new rooms introduce a bold modern sensibility, creating a dialogue between past and present. Interiors are enhanced by custom kitchen hoods, sleek European-style casework, quartz countertops, and hidden equipment cabinets, all contributing to a streamlined and contemporary aesthetic.

Thoughtful detailing enriches the living experience. Hidden doors and expanses of custom maple paneling conceal storage and circulation, while reclaimed maple wainscoting and stained glass windows salvaged from the owner’s childhood home add deeply personal layers of history. These bespoke elements infuse the interiors with warmth and narrative depth, transforming modern spaces into vessels of memory.
