Originally a Ford dealership and garage, this 1930s-era industrial building once showcased a vintage lit marquee and still displays projected and glazed brick friezes and decorative stone rosettes over an industrial masonry pier and full bay window framework.

The fusion of mass timber with adaptive reuse makes a lot of sense, given the material’s lightness and structural versatility. A hybrid approach—incorporating mass timber over an existing concrete plinth or garage—broadens the market for infill urban sites, unlocking significant sustainability benefits.

The Timber Midwest brand showcases how modern, warm, and deco-style form-making can evoke a sense of nature and urban context harmoniously working together.
