This once-grand property near Virginia Tech had fallen into disrepair after years of neglect. The new owner saw investment potential but faced major structural issues, choppy layouts, and unsafe upper-floor conditions. Ink Works Studio provided architectural guidance from concept through construction, addressing critical structural repairs and redesigning the second floor to include new egress balconies and improved apartment layouts. The revitalized property is now a safe, attractive multi-family dwelling in a prime location—combining modern code compliance with preserved architectural charm and turning an eyesore into a valuable community asset.
