- FlooringThe only remnants of the original house are on the walls of Small World Coffee on Witherspoon Street. Virtually all of the flooring was salvaged by Material Design + Build LLC and used as reclaimed paneling during a 2008 renovation of the local cafe. The new house, though much more contemporary in design, does bear a slight resemblance to the former residence. In spite of the demolition, the owner chose to build the new house using those approved plans rather than start another design from scratch. Decorator Maria M. Gross helped guide the interior design process and perfect the finishing touches. In 2011 the full four-level structure was completed.
- FramingIn 1988, Kevin was awarded an Architecture Fellowship Grant by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts based on his design projects with the Princeton Design Guild. He took a leave of absence from the Guild and NJIT to pursue his Master of Architecture degree at Yale. He completed his course work in 1990, completed his thesis with Kent Bloomer and Tom Beeby the following fall, and returned to Princeton. Kevin rejoined NJIT as an adjunct studio critic in 1991, teaching second-year studio in the fall and fifth-year studio in the spring. In 1992, Kevin was recruited by the Construction Official of Princeton Township to be the municipal Building Inspector. The primary responsibilities of the job were performing inspections relating to concrete, foundations, wood and steel framing, building envelope, and final project completion. As the inspector for Princeton Township, he monitored six subdivisions along Princeton's rural edges. The largest was Calton Homes' 300 unit subdivision called Washington Oaks. In addition to his responsibilities at NJIT and Princeton Township, he revived the dormant Princeton Design Guild. Kevin holds four licenses granted by the State of New Jersey: ICS Building Inspector, Subcode Official, Construction Official, and Registered Architect.
