Located two districts south of Roosevelt Row is the Warehouse District. Once the provider of goods and services for the agriculture industry, the Warehouse District is the southern front door to the Downtown Core. With historic building stock dating back to the early 1900’s, the development plan for the Warehouse District focuses on strengthening the sense of community by encouraging future development to offer variety, affordability, accessibility and a connection to history utilizing the adaptive reuse model. Positioned on the south side of the railroad tracks off of 2nd Street, the “Right to Remain” adorns the west façade of the 1905 Sturges Feed + Seed warehouse. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 as one of the best examples of turn of the century brick warehouse construction in the valley. The National Register designation limited building modifications to only the east and west facades, leaving the north and south facades unaltered. The program challenge was to design a photography studio and creative co-working space for a real world client in the Phoenix area that wanted a place with play. Our clients vision was to provide a place for employees and clients to work comfortably and casually. To achieve this, the four primary work modes were utilized to define spaces for: focus, collaboration, learn, social and restore. Under the adaptive reuse intervention style, building modifications were strategically made to emphasize volume over mass and to transform circulation paths into an experience.
