Solution
This project provided for the adaptive reuse of a warehouse building into a modern functioning hotel. Envelope evaluations determined the historic red brick mass wall could remain with an exposed interior allowing for a unique aesthetic for the hotel. The interiors of the hotel celebrated the unique concrete structural grid by engaging and disengaging with the primary corridor walls while closely collaborating with the hotel interiors group to provide unique branded solutions for this boutique hotel.
