Developing an urban site with an existing 1910 mixed-use structure to accommodate two apartments and two commercial spaces, without adding parking, was no easy task. We designed our new office in the side-yard adjacent to our previous space --- a 1910 building now housing a coffee shop and apartment -– with a tight budget and a very particular client and contractor: us. We wanted light, openness, a functional and delightful workplace, an environmentally-conscious building with presence, and an apartment above providing density and appealing to local urbanites.
