ALABAMA AVENUE
HINTON ALLEY SITE PLAN 1/8”=1’0” The Local is a cooperative business looking to move into the Sullivan Building in Selma, Alabama. The Sullivan Building has served multiple purposes throughout its history and is ready for its next chapter. Taking the clients needs and the buildings condition into account a pragmatic approach was taken for this project. The immediate concerns to be addressed is fixing the leak in the southeast corner of the roof and repairing water damage to the building. Following this a phased construction process is proposed in order to ease the financial burden of this project. This will allow The Local to begin making money out of the Sullivan Building as soon as possible. Beyond meeting the client’s
FRANKLIN STREET needs with program and structure some special moves are included in this project as well. Inside the building, historic doors are hung in the rear stairwell so patrons can view history as they ascend the building. There is also shelving and wall spaces on the 2nd and 3rd floor to accommodate small artifacts and graphics about the history of the building and of Selma. The garden portion of this building will include a butterfly roof gazebo with a slit in the middle to light the area underneath and allow water to drain into a gravel strip that cuts through the garden space. These special moments acts as highlights in the project that add intricacy to the building.
