History
940 Russell is located in the historic Edgefield area.  This area is being carefully protected through Historic zoning, which protects against demolition and reconstruction of homes and condos that don’t fit the historic character of the neighborhood.  This has led to the careful restoration of many wonderful homes and condominiums in the area.  This building was constructed in the early 1920’s and was, up until the 1980’s, an eight-unit apartment building.  The building is undergoing an extensive restoration to preserve the integrity of its architecture.  Although railing, some windows and other exterior elements are being fully restored or replaced, it is all being accomplished to be historically accurate.  All systems are new (electrical, heat, air conditioning, plumbing, all fixtures, etc.), and the interiors include all the up to date elements like Ethernet wiring throughout, cable, phone, 5.1 speaker wiring, through home wiring to accommodate almost any configuration and equipment as well as a new security system.

Project Details:

Roof Deck (upper units):

1. We are continuing to research acceptable deck material for the roof.  One of the products we are considering (waiting for samples) can be seen on the website www.duragrid.com.  Look at the Non-slip Comfort Tiles.  This material is only ½” thick, has a great warranty and will allow water to drain freely and was made for this application.  The deck will include a ‘living area’ of this or similar material of at least 500 square feet.  The color will either be gray or beige.  This will not cover the entire deck area, just a living area adjacent to the back wall of the upper living area where the stereo speakers will be placed.  This allows owners to place potted plants or other decoration and create an outdoor room, and I did not intend to cover the entire deck area.
