digital pen, digital paper.

I have always wanted to buy an old firehouse or church to live in. I would slowly renovate it, taking care to preserve the look and feel of the structure’s intended use, but modernizing it’s features to create a comfortable habitable space.

Both would be pretty easy to convert. The firehouse was originally designed to be livable by firefighters and would only need adjustment based on a reduced number of inhabitants. A church could have all of it’s back office and classroom walls removed to redesign the space completely. The entry hall and sanctuary would remain the same, complete with pews and stained glass windows, though the addition of a drop-screen and projector would create a nice media room.
