Multi-Story Office Building Historic Renovations
This project is a major renovation of a historic four-floor brick building which was once utilized as both warehouse and office. The floors throughout the building did not align and complicated the renovations in terms of providing new fire stairs and elevator.
The design solution involved the insertion of new skylights and the opening of the top floor to allow natural light to penetrate into the long interior spaces. The design concept of the renovation was to contrast the salvageable rustic interiors of the original old building with a new high-tech appearance where the new elements were installed.
