This discrete exterior and interior renovation reinvigorates an existing generic 6,000 square foot mixed-use building by engaging the sidewalk while creating a dynamic presence in this studio city community. Located on a busy thoroughfare near restaurants and shops, this contemporary renovation reactivates the neighborhood with an open glass storefront on the sidewalk and new office facade that projects over the side walk to provide shade and cover from rain for pedestrians. The new facade is activated from a variety of points-of-view including the streetscape and the alley view from an adjacent gas station. Peel out windows and cantilevered rooms engage the sidewalk while extending the space of the office interiors. A cantilevered conference room defines the front corner and an animated alley façade brings new life to former back alley. This use of windows diminishes the divide between the neighborhood and the building interior.
