"'I needed to renovate just to sort of clean it up, but in general, I liked the spaces and how they flowed from one to the next, and responded well to the Victorian moulding, wood work and plaster work.' To help with the refresh, the architect enlisted Adam Charlap Hyman, a fellow Rhode Island School of Design graduate and principal of local architecture and design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero. The duo reconfigured the interiors to create a series of rooms suited to Cárdenas's daily tasks."
