Responding to climate change

 

Lifting a former retail space to meet FEMA standards

​

Originally a candy shop on Nantasket Avenue, this structure was re-purposed as two residential units.  The current owner wanted to lift the structure creating a garage and workshop beneath.

Given its beach proximity several goals are being accomplished simultaneously – lifting the building, meeting FEMA standards, and preserving ocean views – all to the delight of the owner.
