The Calm Before the Demo: April 2020

Architectural drawings, check.
Contractor start date, check.
Mentally preparing ourselves for our third floor to be gutted and to live in a construction zone for the foreseeable future, check… I think.

We live in a three-story, three-flat home. For the past three and a half year we have lived in the middle 2nd floor unit and rented out the top and bottom units. Finally, we are ready to combine our unit and the third floor unit to make one grand space to grow into.

After our third floor tenant moved out, we had a month long window before our demolition was scheduled to start. So we took some photos and videos of the space so we can look back and remember what it used to look like.

Our dearest friend came over to photograph the third floor unit before the construction team’s arrival. The photos of her taking pictures added a bit more life to the still shots of empty rooms.
