Adaptive Reuse

Architectural Design

In my second-year studio, the focus was on adaptive reuse. The project was structured as a three-step process. First, we analyzed a precedent, and I selected House Berlin by Karlost for its innovative design approach. The second step involved working with an existing building—620 Yale Street—a brick structure situated within an industrial and electrical field. Finally, the third step required combining insights from the precedent and the existing building to create a new design. The result was a functional living and studio space tailored for a single occupant.
