Design Drivers:

Publicness

Adaptive reuse of a specific space that is currently underutilized or not in use at all. Finding a way to rehab and transform a building to see how it can be best used for the current needs of the area. Bringing everyone in the community together and providing a space for various user groups to socialize and take part in their surrounding environment.

How Placemaking can be used to bridge the boundary between interior and exterior spaces. Creating a hybrid interior and exterior space that provides opportunities for passive and active interaction. Forming a strong relationship between the building and street.
