Through a transformative process, a new building was constructed within the existing brick shell. The structure was replaced with a combination of steel columns and beams, glulam floor joists and wood floor decking. The newly established structure is left exposed leaving a rustic and industrial feel to the space. The original wooden structure was salvaged and split to create 16,000 linear feet of 3/4” 100-year-old pine used for wall and floor finish material. The ceiling exposes the newly inserted mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. The 2nd and 3rd level are finished out with unique wooden structures acting as social spaces for the rest of the interior. The 1st level was left adaptable for future business owners to rent out.
The building also received new windows and storefronts in keeping with the historic exterior. The new storefronts follow the same horizontal and vertical lines of the original, utilizing both clear and translucent glazing, and meeting the requirements for historic tax credits while also giving the building a clean, modern touch at the level of the pedestrian.
