Mile Square
Project
Lane Live-Work
Challenge
For this Adaptive-Reuse project, partnered with an architect, interior designer, and a fellow graphic designer to redesign an existing building into a live-work studio space for 2d artists. The new space needs to include, living areas for the artists, a cafe/bar of some sort, and a gallery space to exhibit the artists’ work.
Solution
Mile Square Lofts provide new, live-work studios for the interim lifestyle of graduated students and other young, independent 30-somethings. By integrating existing architecture with innovative design applications, we created a layered space, which recalls the mixed media design process.
The idea for Mile Square Lofts stemmed from the idea of
integrating the history of the Oxford location and transforming an old space into a fresh and sophisticated place for artists to thrive. These lofts and additional programmed space are intended for young to middle-aged higher income professionals specializing in 2D media.
This adaptive reuse project combines existing historical interiors and innovative, sleek interiors which result in refined live work studios which promote creativity, collaboration, and resourcefulness.
