Esteves House Renovation

Russell Sage College|Troy, NY
This 200-year old brownstone with an annex addition, was originally built as a single-family residence and has served as a college residence hall for over 60 years. Designated for female students, the building also houses the Women’s Center on the lower level. Renovations updated student rooms and common areas throughout, while a modern kitchen was added on the lower level. Upgraded air conditioning and fire protection systems were carefully integrated to meet modern standards without compromising the building’s historic character. FF&E services were provided to complete the comprehensive renovation.

Restored and Reimagined
We replicated and restored the hardwood floors and restored the original finishes to all rooms including walls, moldings, windows, trim, and decorative paint elements. Finally, we improved life safety by creatively designing a vertical stair expansion to the upper level of the building to allow for two interior egress paths.
