Built in 1911, this 60,000-squareToot landmark building underwent complete interior and exterior restoration in accordance with the National Park Service‘s historic preservation guidelines. Since the building originally served as a high school, existing spaces such as the former auditorium were used to locate common areas, including the dining room and lounge. The existing main corridors were retained as circulation paths. This criterion was intended to take advantage of the existing great architectural character and detail present throughout the historic building. The program includes 60 residential studio units, administrative space, and common areas, including living and dining rooms, a bistro, library, and a beauty/barber shop. General accessibility and circulation patterns presented a challenge, due to the complex system of levels of the original basement and first floor. Existing heavy masonry construction also imposed important structural constraints on the architect‘s desire of opening and interconnecting the layout as much as possible.
