September 9th, 2009 by The Excel Design Team

This reimagining of urban commercial-meets-living space features a spacious commercial environment on the first floor and two very spacious residential dwellings above.

The commercial space can be left open with only the stair, the bathrooms and minimal structure for future tenants or customized to fit the needs of a known tenant. As shown, the space is set up for a bar or small street café restaurant.

The residential spaces are set up as single-floor loft-style homes. Bay windows help to maximize views and take in as much natural light as possible. The floors and ceiling of the lofts are manipulated with simple geometries to define spaces and add character. Street facades can be manipulated to match the surrounding structures or made to stand out as a jewel.
