Original luxury home hot water system upgraded to modern day heating. [Click on pictures

This historic Forest Hills Gardens luxury home is now completing a major upgrade renovation to modern
day living while maintaining the classic Tudor style look of
the 100 year old community. The house was originally designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. (son of Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted) and has now been renovated with architect Jerold Buck and award winning designer Danielle Wallinger.
The original system was a basic hot water system which was "State of the art" in its heyday. Part
of the new system design was to maintain some historic nostalgia and Tudor esthetics by utilizing the original under window convectors on the second and third floor
bedrooms. Radiant floors were installed
in all the bathrooms to provide floor warming and the comfort of radiant space heating. A
Kohler "Tropical Rain Forest Experience" showering system was installed in the master bathroom for modern day bathing. Luxury towel warmers
will also be installed to provide a touch of luxury
living. To accomodate a first floor interior design plan, under floor staple up radiant plates were
installed below the entire first floor to obtain the desired esthetics. A TurboMax indirect hot water tank was installed to provide for
domestic hot water requirements. "Cutting edge" Tekmar controls will
manage outdoor reset boiler temperature for the convectors and also manage the two mixed water temperatures required for high and low mass radiant floors. The Tekmar control system
is the perfect recipe for comfort, convenience and energy savings in this
type of system renovation. |
