Delz Warehouse
This project encompasses the renovation of two aging metal warehouses located on an acre just North of the 610 loop. The larger warehouse, previously an auto body shop, measures 6000 square feet and will contain a residence, art studio, and garage. A light well puncturing the middle of the main residence brightens the core of the deep building. The over-sized roof opening washes light down three masonry walls that define the light well and divide the public and private realms of the residence. The interior of the light well is conceived as a serene place of reflection while providing ample natural light into the Master Bedroom. Large windows infill the previous garage door openings and are shaded by a generous steel canopy as well as a new evergreen tree court to the west. Adjacent, a 1200 sf building is reconfigured for a guest or visiting artist residence and studio with a shared outdoor patio for entertaining. Photo by Peter Molick, Art by Karin Broker
What Houzzers are commenting on:
This floor.. yes. The lighting and white walls with height are great. I love the shelves to perch the works. I would love to be able to set up a few ongoing paintings that I can step back from, because I often am working on multiple pieces but just sort of tuck them around and in boxes, which stunts my progress and vision. Maybe there can be a feature on a smaller scale like this somewhere...
Ledges for storing finished paintings or waiting paintings is a an idea
