DiPierro & Brown
Construction
PROJECT: Commonwealth Ave., Boston, MA
BUILDER: DiPierro & Brown Construction
ARCHITECT: Schopfer Associates
The client and an associate purchased three
units in this brownstone with the intention
of dividing the space into two. The gut
remodel required interior walls be removed
to reconfigure the space accordingly. "We
touched every inch of that middle unit,"
Robert recalls. The D&B team preserved
the fireplaces as requested but otherwise
started from scratch. The contemporary
design was submitted by Schopfer
Associates and called for custom everything.
The D&B team took steps to preserve the
plaster crown moulding where possible;
the rest was replicated and reinstalled to
provide a seamless look. The D&B millwork
team constructed built-in bookcases and
shelving in the library.
