Artist's Loft Space

Artist Lofts & Gallery

Reuse of existing structure in Columbus, IN. The former furniture factory is converted into an artist community with gallery space, a cafe, supply shop, and live/work studios and apartments for local artists. Much of the original timber-frame construction and brick exterior was retained and highlighted. Muted finishes and wood tones recall original use of building and allow artist creations to stand out.

Columbus Health Education Center

Reuse and expansion of existing Paul Kennon bank structure in Columbus, IN. Students worked with Columbus Regional Hospital staff to develop concepts for a health-centric facility. We envisioned the Health Education center as a place where members of the community could take cooking, nutrition, and gardening classes and have a link to other health facilities.

Hawkins Apartments/Refugee Apartment

Historic third floor Oddfellow lounge converted into two components; a flexible entertaining space for a well-connected Columbus family, and apartment housing for refugees. The Hawkins apartment utilizes flexible furniture and minimal architecture to allow for multi-use space. The refugee apartment features large communal spaces paired with smaller private rooms.

Columbus Retail Project: Ampersand

Conversion of existing structure in Columbus, IN. The design challenge involved identifying what was missing in the Columbus retail scene and working with Apparel Merchandising students to create business concepts.

We developed an app concept for shoppers to match with a stylist and set appointments for salon and styling services, as well as a social club-style bar.
