Situated on a typical Chicago lot, this project breathes new life into an aging brick structure, once marked by a utilitarian garage door. Now reimagined as an artist gallery, the design honors the building’s industrial past while introducing a refined, contemporary presence.
A bold facade opening invites soft daylight to protect the artwork within. Hinged doors preserve the garage’s scale, quietly signaling a new purpose while balancing preservation with thoughtful transformation.
