In this design, Bruner/Cott melded old and new, incorporating the existing industrial elements—brick, timber, antique fire doors, and even fragments of obsolete machinery—into new interior construction. Many units used open floor plans and slim-profile, wall facing kitchens to create expanses of beautiful, uncluttered space. Exposed ductwork and historically-accurate energy-efficient windows deliver modern comforts without dispelling the building’s carefully preserved ambiance.

This project included a below-grade parking garage, fire stairs, elevators and other universal access provisions, life safety equipment, HVAC, acoustic dampening, and seismic bracing.
