Text description provided by the architects. This 1920s warehouse and attached office building have seen many iterations. This is the second time Bureau Gemmell has worked with this client, this round joined by consulting architect New Office. The renovation project expands the building making way for new tenants and programs by adding a second floor inside the existing high-bay warehouse structure.

Guided by the honest expression of a restrained material palette the different eras of construction are revealed. Sensitive acoustic treatments and a desire to see and interact with the raw materials create a cohesive building despite the different programs and tenants. The project keeps exposed many of the architectural and structural elements from the earlier projects which become features in the many spaces.
