The truss systems spanning the former warehouse buildings were restored and painted white to float over the walls, allowing the ceiling plane to seamlessly unite the open spaces within. Steel walkways intersect the existing storefronts and former commercial bays while preserving the existing floor openings to allow natural light to flood the basement studio spaces, children’s area and galleries.
