\nTwelve years ago, Susan Davis completed the design of a two-story mixed-use building at 65 Beekman St. in Saratoga Springs. Davis, a principal architect at SD Atelier Architecture LLC, was hired by the woman who owned the vacant 5,200-square-foot property at the time.
\nSD Atelier Architecture, in Saratoga Springs, is owned by Davis and her husband, fellow architect Don Davis. During their 25 years of working in Saratoga, they have designed numerous residential and commercial properties both locally and in the Adirondacks. Current projects include Elk Lake Lodge, a historic hunting and fishing lodge in North Hudson, and Schroon Lake Community Church, a historic church that was destroyed by fire in early 2019.
\nDavis designed 65 Beekman St. to include a first floor gallery space, a small first floor apartment, and a larger second floor apartment. But just as construction of the building was about to begin, her client learned she would incur significant costs to run sprinkler system lines to the property. It was at that same time that the 2008 stock market crash triggered a housing crash and economic downturn. As a result, the owner decided not to proceed.
\n\u201cWe put in about a year and a half worth of effort,\u201d said Davis. \u201cWe went through all of the approvals with planning and zoning and design review and had a full set of construction drawings. We had obtained a building permit and she had a construction manager lined up. And then things went south with the economy.\u201d
\nThe owner held onto the property until May 2019, at which time she sold it to Rosetti Properties of Albany for $240,000. Rosetti is a company that SD Atelier Architecture has worked with in the past.
\nMatthew Falvey, grandson of Richard Rosetti and vice president of development of Rosetti Companies, decided to build on the property. After seeing the original designs, he chose her as his architect. Because the plans had been previously approved, Falvey knew the approval process for his project would not take long.
\nConstruction of the approximately 4,000-square-foot building was recently completed and Falvey has secured a tenant\u2014a vintage clothing store called Vintage\u2014for the 1,000-square-foot commercial space on the first floor. Both apartments also have tenants.
\n\u201cI fell in love with the architecture of the building. I have appreciation for Dutch architecture and I felt the double hung windows with all of the trim kind of spoke to me in that sense. The windows allow a lot of natural light to pour in,\u201d said Falvey.
\n\u201cHe stuck with most of the original design intent,\u201d said Davis. \u201cThere were some modifications, but it was essentially the same.\u201d
\nThe building was designed to blend into the streetscape of the Beekman Street Arts District. The street includes a mix of turn-of-the-century homes, art galleries, restaurants and shops.
\n\u201cThe corner is cut back specifically to allow for better visibility going around the corner to make it more pedestrian friendly,\u201d said Davis. \u201cThere are also large windows on the first level which make it more suitable for a commercial space. The second floor has a balcony that is kind of carved out of the building so that it looks down on Beekman Street.\u201d
\nIt\u2019s designed to have very high ceilings with a loft space type of feeling. It was in the original design to make it more of an industrial chic loft style building. However, the outside we couldn\u2019t make look like a warehouse. It had to be blended in with the street … It\u2019s about bringing back that character that was required by the Design Review Commission to blend into the streetscape of the Beekman Arts District.\u201d
\nFalvey said he has received nothing but positive feedback on the building.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
