Now Serving History

This month I photographed a new food service installation at a local university. The historical location was originally an exclusive apartment building situated on the Charles River in Cambridge, MA. The building was undergoing a complete renovation to be used as undergraduate housing. The 1st floor common area had been transformed into a state of the art food service area with the interior finish to match the look and feel of the existing space. This view is one of eight views I photographed of the project, it features both the new and existing woodwork as well as an original window.

Photographing any location the same day as the "punch list" is being completed is always a challenge, but it can be done. With good planning and communications all parties can stay out of each others way and views that tell the story can successfully be made.
