Furniture & Fabrication Store LOCATION: CROSS ROADS DISTRICT, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI ACADEMIC: 2ND YEAR, 2ND SEMESTER STUDIO YEAR: 2017 [ INDIVIDUAL PROJECT ]
The Crossroads District of Kansas City is a booming area where art culture thrives. Every year, an annual art walk takes place where thousands of pedestrians explore the various exhibits displayed in shops and on the streets. This project was to host a furniture and fabrication store. A company would design the furniture, craft it, and then sell it in a showroom setting. It was highly encouraged that the building be interactive with the pedestrians, especially during the art walk. This meant that certain spaces had to be easily visible in order to be inviting to pedestrians, as well as to be effective for general business purposes. The site was located in a small parking lot adjacent to a men’s clothing store.
