Laying the Groundwork

Location and surrounding context of the Pickle Building Site Plan

The main objective of this adaptive reuse project is to create a multi-purpose space for the community. A space in which community members can easily access, whether it be for food, recreation, shopping, or meeting friends. The lot on which the building currently sits on has plenty of space for a variety of uses.

Some of the main areas of interest are as follows:

• Multipurpose Pedestrian Alley and Walkway

• Public Pavilion

• Paved Outdoor Common Space

• Field, Garden, Fountain, and Seating Area

Scale 1:200

10 20 50

• Community Greenhouse

• Public Restrooms

General Site Plan

This proposal places a heavy emphasis on shared common areas for the community to use. Shared spaces provide the setting for many important social and cultural activities to take place. These spaces allow communities to organize meetings and hold events, and allow individuals to encounter local art, gastronomy, and other members of the communty. The more open and welcoming a space is the more people are likely to access the space and feel comfortable in it. These are places for inclusion, diversity, and sociability.
