Conversion of an existing building into retail.
You are being hired to transform this existing masonry building into a commercial building.
To begin, you will choose what product the store will be selling. This will be determined after a thorough site analysis. Then you will study precedents, generate parti material, and program the space. You will demonstrate your process through the use of abstracts, sketches, diagrams, and models. Your final design will be presented digitally with plans, sections, elevations, renderings and with physical model.
Your design will be required to follow all code requirements and ADA regulations.
Site:525 Union St, Brooklyn 11217
Program: Retail store selling products and/or services
The scope of the design work will include:
