Downtown Bryan, Texas The revitalization of downtown Bryan is a theme that runs through the work of the Arkitex Studio, and a passion of the architects that work here. Formerly the location of Charlie's Furniture, this 3000-square-foot structural brick building needed help desperately. Behind the original brick facade was an empty husk: no floors, no windows, no roof. With the assistance of a Facade Improvement Grant from the city of Bryan, our client was able to restore this 1930s-era building and bring it into daily use. The stained wood finishes and fluted glass interior windows recall a period bank, illuminated by a newly installed skylight (a classic solution to on-going environmental concerns). Custom storefront windows and a deep awning respond to building fabric in the rest of north downtown. What was old is new again. |
