Regent Square Civic Association
Home Improvement Workshop 2014
The purpose of this workshop is to:- Acquaint you with the various historical/architectural home styles typically found in
the East End of Pittsburgh (focusing on the Greater Park Place and Regent Square
neighborhoods), and allow you to understand the defining architectural features of
your home. - Develop your ability to envision a practical solution – whether it’s renovation or
restoration – appropriate to the style and character of your home, respectful of
your budget, and your ability to realistically execute the project successfully (by
yourself or with the help of an architect and/or contractor). - Understand how existing conditions affect the design approach (and what to re-
think when matching or replicating construction and detailing is cost-prohibitive). - Envision exterior additions or modifications to the home that are appropriate to the
massing, style and character of the original building.
