…and some of those buildings were part of the development of the code compliance alternatives for existing buildings that eventually became Chapter 34 then the IEBC. Originated in Cleveland to solve the problems of how to reuse older buildings safely

There are thousands of those bedrooms within a 10 minute walk of the convention center, whole districts of Cleveland’s historic buildings with residential re-use made possible with that strategy. Former warehouses and department stores that would otherwise be vacant shells still today

welcome to Cleveland, btw

immaterial when the geometry of the newer Prius crashes your Revit model and the submission’s due in 45 minutes

To be fair to the architect, any real car with curved geometry really bogs down the render processing time. The cybertruck is a great time-saver if up against a presentation deadline

shit ain’t over til it’s over

I haven’t personally encountered that modification elsewhere, but local amendments seem endless in their variety and often quirky. A state by state survey via codes.iccsafe.org wouldn’t be that difficult, I suppose, though certainly tedious

“Most” implies some variety subject to local state amendments that might modify boilerplate IRC. I can’t tell from the floor plan whether it is 9” or 10” at the walkline, and there might be an issue w/ the minimum. ICC reqmts within R-2 dwellings are also similar. But winders are generally doable

…just important to know it does often pencil out, at least here in Cleveland the land where historically there’s been a lot that doesn’t, rent rates are fairly low, but materials cost the same as everywhere else. The conversions are well ahead of new construction volumes

No question, involvement from trades is essential. I don’t know anyone doing this well that doesn’t involve the MEP subcontractors at early stages.

It is a challenge, no question. But it’s done, often! I practice architecture in Cleveland, and even rubes like us have figured out how to do it — many thousands of times over! Sometimes it’s not so skillful and the apartments suck. But sometimes they’re quite nice!

Sometimes it is tough! Plumbing is not usually the hardest part!

Why does this question keep coming up as if it presents new and intractable hurdles, rather than admittedly challenging but still often solvable approaches that have been repeatedly implemented for decades in some cities.

poasters, talk to architects that practice adaptive re-use!

Often, yes! Can it meet the outside
air requirements for ventilation? Also often yes though occasionally more challenging. Marketable? Sometimes! Advisable? It depends!

Even more abundantly blooming Ohio wildflowers and grasses in a front yard

Yep! more wildflowers and grasses

This is my yard. Took A TON of work to get it to this point, and continues to take effort.

Worth it. But drives me a little nuts when someone just stops mowing their lawn one day and expects some sort of positive result to occur, aesthetic or ecological or otherwise

just incredibly odd praise coming from these weird men who are so irrationally afraid of public transportation and cities. Do they know it’s a train station?
