This project is an adaptive reuse of an old mechanic’s shop along York Boulevard in trendy Eagle Rock. We were asked to convert the mechanic’s shop into a commercial complex for five retail and restaurant tenants. Our design for the renovated space maintains the industrial aesthetic of the original building, while adding a bathroom for each tenant space, opening up the front facade by adding new glazing, and creating a rooftop terrace and cactus garden for use by a future restaurant tenant.
