Public Market Loft, Monument Square, Portland, ME
A full-gut renovation of a former and then abandoned commercial space into a residential condominium in the Public Market building on Monument Square. c. 2010.
Commissioned by an avid gardener, cook and baker with the dream of downsizing to an urban residence that would put the downtown farmers market at her doorstep, the project was part of the overall restoration of the historic Emerson Clapp Building. The project involved significant structural work, all new systems, appliances, fixtures, finishes and an exterior garden terrace. To achieve this, Frankie teamed up with Josepha Hegan of J.Hegan Interiors. Together they worked intensively with the client to realize the vision, create a dream kitchen and an urban oasis. With a shared commitment to "keep it local" the residence features the work of many Maine artists, craftsmen and finds from some of New England's best architectural salvage haunts.
