 Adaptive Reuse of Livery Stable
An old livery stable that turned into a modern office space
Description:
We assisted this long-time client with the conversion of a heritage livery stable into an office-studio space, with a wonderful interior space that exposes the complete wood roof structure. The stable was modernized with new concrete floor slabs, a new washroom, a kitchenette, HVAC, roof insulation and a steel roof. The workshop addition and main space open to the private rear garden.
Our Role:
Full architectural services including assistance with mechanical and electrical documentation, committee of adjustment, procurement of trade contractors, and review of construction.
Achievements:
The exterior materials and colours were carefully selected to harmonize with the scale and detailing of the heritage structure. The addition was designed to have a distinct but complimentary presence that respects the original brick building. Located in a downtown laneway with consistent pedestrian traffic, this building remains discrete while contributing to the quality of its surroundings. It reinvents the once abandoned structure to form a special enclave in the urban core.
