The loft is the Architect’s personal residence, which she continues to experiment and design new elements. The mixed-use building is 19,000 sf, and the residence occupies the upper level, approximately 3.200 sf. This is an authentic loft, the real thing, which is often imitated in today’s market. It weaves together historic preservation, adaptive reuse, and environmental responsibility, since the entire building, and many original components, have been recycled. We can walk to the City’s Plaza District, a pedestrian friendly commercial area. We are located within the Depot District, a 5 minute walk from the train depot, which encourages less dependency on the automobile. The ultimate energy and time saver is the commute from home to work…simply a flight of stairs to the office from the loft, exemplifying the ideal live/work quality of life.
