adaptive re-use
The Overlake Retail project focused our expertise with urban environments onto a suburban condition. The existing 34,300 SF automotive service center structure was originally built in 1967. It’s auto-centric site is a tree-lined surface parking, connecting to other commercial uses and parking, all setback from the street fronts. Our task was to convert the existing structure to accommodate retail and restaurant uses, create pedestrian friendly exterior spaces and introduce more active and human scaled façade elements to better serve the structures new functions.
