Description
A high style residence designed by Charles Platt serves as a conference center for Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Our historic preservation experience was put to use in adapting life safety systems to current codes for this change of use from a single family residence. Inconspicuous changes were designed and implemented to enclose an open staircase, conceal fire protection sprinkler systems and install emergency exit lighting and signage in keeping with the character and grand scale of this 1930’s landmark mansion.
