An adaptive reuse project precedent illustrating the transformation of a historic industrial warehouse interior with exposed concrete structure and restored multi-pane windows.
- What we like about this project
- The vertical light well cuts deep into the massive warehouse floor plates, opening up circulation.

- Geometry
- Multi-story vertical volume featuring an open stairwell core flanked by exposed concrete structural columns and stacked multi-pane industrial windows.
- Structural guess
- Reinforced concrete frame with flat slabs and original columns
- Spatial scale
- Multi-story vertical volume with human-scaled stairs and railings.
- Lighting
- Diffused daylight entering from stacked side windows, illuminating raw interior concrete and dark metal railings.
- Atmosphere
- A striking contrast between raw industrial grit, clean architectural intervention, and historical context.
- Environmental context
- Industrial warehouse interior paired with an archival urban landscape photo showing smoke over a district.
- Spatial experience
- Gazing upward through a tall industrial atrium, where stacked windows bring daylight into the deep circulation core.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical repetition of stacked multi-pane window apertures along concrete piers.
