29 Elm Street Cambridge, MA

Vacant and open to the elements, this structurally compromised 19th century livery stable in “Area 6” (a Cambridge neighborhood unfortunately named for its police precinct) was converted to residential lofts. Alley access allowed the building to be sliced vertically to maximize unit count while providing adequate daylight. The expansive upper level loft boasts the original wood truss system and 25’ ceilings. Landscaping and red brick pavers transformed the site from a derelict corner to an urban oasis.

Projects by Dierdre Savage were completed during her tenure as a partner in a Cambridge, MA design build development group.
