This project involved adding several stories on top of a former printing plant. Our design differentiates between the existing structure and new construction through setbacks and contrasting façade treatments. We retained old openings in the original structure, restored the exposed concrete, and added energy-efficient windows that evoke the original single-pane industrial sashes. As a result of the careful planning during the schematic design phase, we were able to position rooms so as to highlight the existing structural columns with their dramatic, mushroom-shaped capitals.
