1133-55 Fulton

The design intent of 1133 Fulton Market was to adapt a historic manufacturing building into a modern office and retail space, as well as expand the existing structure to provide additional tenant space. The result is a building with a historical exterior, topped with a glass & steel addition. To elevate the existing building, all windows were replaced with industrial-inspired divided lite windows of the same size & scale, while the unique wooden storefronts were replicated and finished in a black paint. The East half of the building’s timber construction provided an open floor plate, already ideal for an office setting, while the West half was partitioned into 4 bays of masonry and nominal lumber construction. Through the introduction of a new steel structure, the design introduces openings and create a cohesive flow between the two halves. At the rooftop addition, the contemporary glass & steel structure responds to the original building, featuring a structural pattern which correlates to the existing brick piers below. The material palette throughout maintains the raw nature of the former industrial use, featuring exposed concrete, timber and steel.
