The Challenge

American towns developed along transportation corridors like 19th-century canals. Once removed, industrial buildings along these infrastructures are in need of new economies. Uses change but a building’s form endures; the Piqua Granite building had previous lives as a car and motorcycle dealership, even a tavern.

OUR RESPONSE

The building entry is re-oriented, enabling the warehouse and showroom spaces to function separately while a continuous wall wraps around them and separates service zones.

The Results

Interior renovation of the 10,000sf building was completed in late 2022 followed by Lock Nine Park construction in 2023.
