Working closely with the Client and then the contractor, Abstract Architecture provided design services for the interior renovation to this beautiful Allentown cottage. The project objective was to unify the house, closer to its original form, removing the remnants of previous renovations and the past conversion to a two-apartment occupancy.

The removal of two small rooms and a loft from the rear section of the house allowed for the undersized kitchen to be expanded, allowing adequate space for the addition of a dining area. The removal of these barrier spaces also permitted the reconnection to the exterior with direct access to the existing rear deck and beautiful city rear yard. The glazed opening also provides abundant natural light that was lacking previously.

Minor changes were made to the living area, focusing of comfort and ensuring natural light and an under-stair ½ bath was relocated and reconfigured to provide a compact full bathroom, ideal for overnight guests and visiting family.
