Mascon Restoration Modifies Historic Structures Among Other Renovation Trends
Over the Past Years, Converting Old Warehouses and Industrial Structures Into Modern Living Spaces, Shopping Centers and Museums Has Grown in Popularity; However, Some Property Owners Have Opted to Take a Reverse Approach and Build New Buildings That Reflect Historic Architecture; Located in New York, Mascon Restoration Is a Company That Focuses on Reconstructing Older Buildings, Either to Reinstate Their Original Qualities or Adjust Construction to Current Trends
(firmenpresse) - COLLEGE POINT, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 06/13/12 -- An recently featured in The New York Times focuses on a family in the Netherlands and their efforts to build a modern home with an aged-aesthetic. In the late 1990s, the Schulting family originally purchased property in the historic Dutch village of Wassenaar, where they expected to raise their family and display their art collection. However, it was soon realized that the home was not going to meet their expectations; the family required more walls and more light. Opposed to expensive modern renovations, the Schultings wanted to maintain a historic exterior and interior to match their tastes as well as the other homes in the area. Located across the Atlantic in New York, has faced similar concerns in reconstruction projects and is a company well-versed in historic building methods.
To create the mansion they wanted, the Schultings arranged a demolition and hired designers from Antwerp-based Vlassak-Verhulst to build a home that fit a 19th century distinction. Familiar with using aged materials in construction, the company's architects, designers, carpenters and artisans created a "harmonizing" home in the style of an English manor.
The article makes a point to connect the personality of the family to the personality of the home. As art collectors, the Schultings wanted to have a home that would complement their 19th century artwork, not distract from it. Portico-style windows, faux bricked-up windows, "whimsical" carvings, English brickwork and wrought-iron balconies allowed designers to build a home that not only looked old, but also told a story. Mascon Restoration is another construction company that understands public perception of historic-looking buildings, and while these professionals don't build mansions, they make efforts to restore urban industrial buildings to maintain similar historic details.
Although, the Dutch mansion is built with a historic aesthetic, it was crafted with modern conveniences including a temperature-controlled wine cellar and built-in vacuum cleaning system. Incorporating practical elements into such spaces is a popular trend for American designers and architects who convert old structures into contemporary residential and professional property.
However, it is not uncommon in these cases that a building must be brought up to current construction codes -- a practice is quite familiar with. Through a variety of roof, façade and interior related services, the company is one that strives to maintain the original style and integrity of a structure to continue providing a look into the past for today's society.
