Located in downtown Tucson, this project involves the renovation and
re-adaptation of a two- story 1890's building into mixed-use housing and
commercial. The scheme creates four lofts upstairs with a central stair
coming from both street and alley for access. Existing materials -brick,
wood, and steel- of the 110 year old building are exposed to counterpoint
with new steel and glass insertions into the space. Facades will be restored
to accent the wonderful brickwork and craftsmanship while adding sublime
and modern interventions of glass and steel. The project is poised to
become the flagship mixed use project as Tucson begins to revitalize its
once thriving downtown. rob paulus architect, ltd.
