Beaconsfield Apartments,  Cambridge, MA

This historic structure is undergoing and entire façade renovation.  The main part of the scope is to replicate this historic parapet pediment by using today’s technology.

This severely damaged structure is made of pre-cast concrete.  We visited the side armed with every measuring device made for historic replication.  These drawings are what the restoration company is going to use as a guide to rebuild this important architectural element.  Each piece will be rebuilt out of foam using computerized laser beams for accuracy in measurement...  This project is currently underway.

Example CAD drawings created for restoration company.

This historic home, in its vastly wooded, shaded environment is prone to ice damming.  The existing roof shingles were at their 15-20 year limit and the copper gutter liner was too old to repair.

 To keep the integrity of their historic setting, Architectural shingles, replicating hand cut shaker shingles were used.  New copper gutter liners were measured and historically replicated.  As an accent to the old beauty, copper drip edge was installed to punctuate the high-pitched eaves , long lost in today’s construction.  

I would like to thank the Crew of Joe Squillante, Inc for their professional attitudes and installation throughout the process.  The clients were pleased with the cleanliness of the site upon completion and lack of a punch list.

In addition to design and restoration services, project management services were provided.
