Studio 6 - Adaptive Reuse Project

Project Description:

The Paisley Mill Project's new concept takes advantage of the existing building's features. To create a room that takes advantage of the building's existing architectural components while also adhering to the client's request to keep the south wall of the building intact. I proposed a cafe on the first floor, an art gallery on the second and a pottery studio on the third floor—I proposed to remove the fourth floor and make the third-floor ceiling higher. The idea is that the local community has access and can explore it. It will support the local community, and people can gather and host events. Provided two staircases; one staircase is on the South and the other on the Northside of the building. A vestibule is proposed on the East side of the silo. 3-Ply windows proposed on the East side are silo.
