Menil Bookstore Residence Chan Huyhn. 2nd Year. Spring 2009
Objective: To design a bookstore with a residence attached for the owners of the bookstore that is located across from the Menil Art Museum. Program: The design had to include a conference room, 450 linear ft of book shelves, an additional 40 ft of shelves for rare books, storage/ receiving space, an office, mechanical and electrical equipment room, and a residential space. As an additional request from the client, I was asked to incorporate and display their collection of Jesus Moroles sculptures into the design.
