Dana Street, Portland, Maine – 2003
The project incorporates the renovation and addition to an existing historic structure known as the Chase-Leavitt Building in Portland’s Old Port District for the introduction of office and restaurant space. The addition of the contemporary tower element provides vertical access to the upper floors for office space, while visually complementing the architectural context. This tower element epitomizes Archetype’s approach to historic preservation: the respectful interplay of architectural languages from different eras which combine to bring new functionality to historic structures.
