The project scope consisted of an extensive renovation to a 20,000-square-foot brick complex, previously used by Lucky Strike Tobacco power plant. Two of the plant’s buildings were stitched together while conserving most of the existing walls, windows, skylights, tile, and concrete slabs.
What sets this project apart is its embodiment of the "keep it simple" philosophy. The team prioritized straightforward and functional solutions, avoiding over complication and focusing on the fundamental logic behind their designs.
