This project includes combining three lots in the Historic District of Portsmouth, the renovation of a substantial historic house called the Buckminster House on a portion of the site and the design of a new three to four story mixed-use building on the remainder of the site. The first floor of the new building will provide some parking and two mercantile storefronts along Bridge Street. The upper floors of the proposed new building will be ten residential units.

The proposed building exterior exhibits many features that recall early 20th century urban row house structures. These features include elongated two-over-one double hung windows, wide eave overhangs and fascia trim, bay windows, flat recessed panel details and a granite veneer plinth course along Bridge Street. Other features that add character to the exterior are the custom metal patio railing and garage entry gate, the street level planter bay and the three part storefront windows with transom glazing. The roof features environmentally sensitive decking and ‘Green Grid’ planted modules to keep the roof cool, reduce runoff and add to the life of the roof.
