Description:

C.T. Wilson prepared the inside of five historic buildings for a large-scale renovation into a mixed use community of Artist's Studios, Loft Apartments, Commercial, and Recreational spaces. Beginning the summer of 2007, the emphasis was on subdividing Building Six, a long, well-lit 46,000 SF warehouse into apartments with a central hall and renovated industrial windows looking out onto an up and coming part of town. Immediately adjacent is Building Three, a 16,000 SF warehouse which was up fitted into working artists studios—the gemstone of the campus. Building Two is the oldest on campus, a long three-story building with wooden arch-topped windows that CT Wilson worked with Belk Architecture and Scientific Properties to restore to its original well-lit charm. C.T. Wilson worked in a highly creative and productive team of Scientific Properties and Belk Architecture from early budgeting and design phases into renovation and upfit phases to efficiently and effectively bring these nearly 130,000 square feet of buildings back to full glory so that the campus hums with life day and night.
