The architects have preserved the building’s industrial feel in the 13,000-square-foot workspace, which features custom steel entry gates, a load-bearing glass facade looking out onto a sunny enclosed courtyard, and 18-foot ceilings in the original wood — longleaf pine — with 26-foot pop-up clerestories. The building’s history is etched in the cracked and pockmarked concrete floors, while the refurbished red-brick walls attest to period craftsmanship.
“We wanted to uncover the embedded potential of the existing building and show its inherent beauty of material and space,” Shelton said.
