Marble Lofts

This adaptive re-use project converted a small cultured marble manufacturing facility into 17 loft units.  A surgical removal of part of the existing barrel vaulted roof enabled each unit to gain enough volume for a mezzanine level master suite.  The exterior stair tower providing access to the new roof deck was clad in grass veined acrylic panels, a reference to the ‘faux’ marble panels which were once created onsite.  Backlit during nighttime hours, the tower acts as an iconic ‘lantern’ for the building’s new inhabitants.
