It’s located on Moffett Road. There are 38 apartments available for the men. News 5 talked with Army Veteran, Curtis Haskin. He has dealt with PTSD for years.

Industrial Crane Turned into a Private Retreat

Image
Seems that unique remodeling and repurposing projects are popping up everywhere lately, which is a good thing. And this one is every bit as cool as the helicopter turned into a hotel. it is an old industrial crane , which was once used for loading coal, that has been transformed into a private retreat. The project was undertaken by the Copenhagen- based firm Arcgency and is located in the city’s harbor. The aptly named Krane features a luxury multi-floor interior, complete with a spa, meeting room, and a private apartment at the top. It also features a lot of outdoor terrace space . The first floor of the Krane houses the main entrance and reception area, which seems to have been made out of a recycled shipping container . V set of stairs leads up to the second floor where the meeting area is located. There is ample glazing in this area to create a very light-filled space. The next level up is accessible via another staircase. This is where the large terrace and spa are located. The ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) – The air conditioning hasn ’t worked for weeks at the Charles Place Apartments in Providence. “It’s extremely hot,” said Sabrina Cooley, a resident of the 200- unit apartment building . “I barely slept at all last night.” Cooley told Call 12 for Action that the heat exacerbated her respiratory problems. She’s been spending time outside to find relief. “It’s warm outside as well, but we’re trying to get some type of a breeze because the inside is extremely hot,” Cooley added. “It’s overbearing.” Call 12 for action went to the building’s manager Georgeanne Keith for answers. “Our residents are important to us, and we want this to be a safe comfortable place to live,” Keith said.

Proposed Paris Building Renovation is Really Out There

Image
French architect Stéphane Malka has a very interesting proposal for how to renovate an old apartment building in Paris. Plug-in City 75, as the project is named, calls for attaching a series of wooden boxes to the building’s façade, which will have the dual function of increasing the interior space of the apartments, as well as make the structure more energy efficient. Malka came up with this idea because the local building codes do not allow for extending buildings upward , but extending them outward is allowed. He has already designed the wooden boxes to be used for this purpose. They vary in size and are all prefabricated off-site. The building that is to get this interesting facelift is located in Paris’ 16th arrondissement, and was build in the 1970s. The prefab boxes to be used will be lightweight, and built using sustainably-sourced wood. Plans call for them to be mounted onto the building’s facade. The occupants of the building will be able to decide what they want to use the ...
