Private Residence, Westchester, NY
During
a six-month property managment position, Patané finished details
on residential rentals and networked to get tenants for the spaces.
For the landlord-homeowner, Patané assisted with regular household
tasks, yard maintenance and organizational clean-up. One of the homeowner's
larger projects consisted of their bathroom renovation, which Patané
managed its demolition, design and construction.
Removing the old
bathroom, including the cast iron tub.
Patané notes
and sketches the floor plan during the renovation process.
After
the old tile and three layers of wallboard were removed, space was maximized
in the room. A hallway linen closet was closed in to utilize the space
inside the bathroom, putting a full-length bathroom linen cabinet in its
place. Patané framed the new tub surround wall to accompany a marble
shelf inset with a mirror backing, and she added blocking for grab bars.
Being an old house, the floor needed to be leveled and one wall required
new, plumb studs.
During
demolition, the last layer of wallboard consisted of a fiberous beaver
board, and four different patterns of wallpaper were found on it.

Measurments in reference
to blocking and framework are noted by Patané.
