1510 WOODWARD AVENUE FACADE



2004



Filled with late nineteenth and early twentieth century architecture, the city of Detroit has embarked on an ambitious plan to assist property owners in rehabilitating their street facades along the Lower Woodward Avenue Historic District. The goal of the program was to improve the outward appearance of the area, sparking further reinvestment in downtown. Given the prominent location and historic character of this property, the building owners felt that it was important for them to do their part in helping this plan succeed. This was a facade renovation I did back in the winter of 2005. I was the Project Designer, Project Architect, handled all client communications, and handled all of the construction administration.

GRAPHIC ARTS LOFTS



2001



Originally constructed in 1926 by Murphy & Burns, Architects, this four-story, Italian Romanesque building was used primarily by companies in the field of graphic arts. It has a reinforced concrete structure with a cream-colored terra cotta facade, which extends over the first bay of the east & west elevations. The remainder of the building is expressed with the reinforced concrete structure with in-filled brick and industrial steel windows.

The concept for the typical loft plans pushes the bath/dressing room to the rear of the unit against the wall while combining the kitchen, bedroom, and living areas into one large open space. The bedroom has the possibility of separation with the use of a movable partition or curtain.
