The new kitchen and bathroom in a Charlottesville, Virginia, office-turned-apartment are both neatly concealed and showcased within a 40-foot-long reclaimed-oak box. Bushman Dreyfus Architects conceived the intervention while renovating the 1843 rowhouse for a couple who had purchased it as an investment property. With retail and office tenants on the ground and second levels, they wanted the dimly lit and unlivable third floor converted into a bright and welcoming second residence, where they also could host visiting family and friends.
