SOUTH MILL

Mija Architecture LLC, a distinguished architectural firm, played a pivotal role in a momentous historic project—the third phase of a $16 million renovation to the iconic Ponemah Mills complex in Taftville, CT. Originally constructed in 1866, this historic complex had witnessed various industrial uses over the years before gradually falling into disrepair. Recognizing its significance, New Jersey developer One Key, LLC. embarked on an ambitious mission to restore the exterior façade to its former glory.

The restoration project encompasses the meticulous preservation of the complex’s rich architectural heritage. Mija Architecture LLC collaborated closely with the developer to ensure the implementation of historically accurate design elements. A key aspect of the restoration involves the installation of new, reproduction windows that align seamlessly with the original aesthetic. These carefully crafted windows pay homage to the historical significance of the building while incorporating modern functionality.

Furthermore, the project envisions the addition of a new residential apartment building to the complex, consisting of an impressive 77 units. Mija Architecture LLC’s expertise in blending contemporary design with the site’s historic context was instrumental in creating a harmonious integration of the proposed structure within the Taftville community. Taftville itself boasts a wealth of architectural heritage, characterized by Federal-style buildings, striking red brick walls, and awe-inspiring exposed beams and ductwork that traverse its interiors. The vaulted ceilings lend an air of grandeur and authenticity to the space, further accentuating the historical charm of the community.

Mija Architecture LLC’s careful attention to detail and commitment to historical accuracy ensures that the restoration of the Ponemah Mills complex in Taftville is a testament to both architectural finesse and preservation. By seamlessly blending modern functionality with the inherent beauty of the original design, the project pays homage to the rich heritage of the site while providing contemporary living spaces for residents.

The restoration of Ponemah Mills complex stands as a shining example of how meticulous architectural interventions can revitalize historical landmarks, breathing new life into cherished spaces. Mija Architecture LLC’s expertise and dedication to preserving the integrity of the site have contributed to the revitalization of the Taftville community, fostering a sense of pride and appreciation for its architectural heritage.
