REINVENTING LIVE/WORK: HOXTON HOTEL PRESERVATION

This design is for a live work apartment proposal. With three floors of retail, three floors of offces,andtherestrestbeingapartmenttliveworkunits.

With a live work unit, one can have a loft style apartment that completely separates the living and working areas of an apartment, without having to leave the building. In addition to the live work lofts are one bedroom apartment units.

The bottom three floors are arranged in a modular fashion, in which organic blocks sit on top of eachother, creating terraces and balconies in unusual ways. This curvature from the retail floors continue on to the apartment units, which create lounge areas and spaces for the residents.

In terms of connection with the Hoxton, the alley which was once in between the Hoxton and the site has transformed into a pathway for residents, as well as increased outdoor seating.
