Project Description
The project hollows out the shell of a dilapidated auto body shop in Brevard North Carolina and converts it into a design build studio.
The shell of the existing building, a mishmash of building materials including brick, terracotta and concrete block, are left exposed and painted white to become a textured backdrop to the modern intervention.
The architectural concept is to contrast the roughness of these materials against finely detailed floating pods in the interior. The pods contain rooms that never touch the walls or ceiling of the shell. One is a service pod with a kitchen and bathroom, and the other is a place for meetings. The meeting pod is askew to create reception, waiting, and work spaces.
