Downtown Bryan, Texas In 2007, the Arkitex Studio rehabilitated a 4,500-square-foot, dry goods store (originally built in 1929) in downtown Bryan for our offices. The building features load-bearing masonry walls and three open-span steel bow trusses. The exterior of the building has been partially remodeled (the brick has been cleaned and a storefront windows have been rebuilt). Brick restoration and the addition of street-front awnings are slated for a future phase. The interior of the building was completely remodeled and required a portion of the wood roof deck to be replaced and the plaster veneer to be removed. The steel trusses, wood roof deck and brick walls were exposed providing a varied and interesting textural palette. A skylight was added with translucent panels to provide a soft light into the space. Existing metal ceiling panels were salvaged and reused to provide references to the history of the building. The overall result is a warm, inviting and invigorating work space. This project was selected to win a Design Award from AIA Brazos in 2011. |
