Landmark Lofts scope of work consisted of the renovation of an existing Multi-Family housing property. Objective was to update existing finishes and light fixtures in the units and in all common’s areas. The tenant demographic aimed for the ‘Millennial Hipster’.
The original structure built in 1885 and had mainly been used by the industrial trades. With its unique architectural elements providing the design direction. Combining these vintage elements with mid-century modern added an air of sophistication. A variety of existing materials provided inspiration for the renovation – stone, brick, rough hewn columns, metal bracing, and iron columns. Uniquely situated, its north units have a spectacular view of the Missouri river and the Buck O’Neil Bridge.
Collaboration for the interiors portion of the project was thru Cook + Company. My contribution involved material and finish selections; the selection of lighting fixtures, Schedules and Plan views. Lighting fixtures were selected with consideration of their energy efficiency; meeting requirements for the building to receive an Energy Star Rating.
Common Areas
Uncovered in the process were the variation of the top floors’ ceiling heights. With it’s slope draining three feet towards the Missouri River. In addition, from east to west the roof’s slope wasone foot lower. This presented a challenge as all ceiling fans were to have the same installation height. Each unit required verification of the bedroom fixtures. The result required, for the top floor four lengths of down rods for the ceiling fans – 6′, 5′, 4′ and 3′.
Construction was executed thru The Teihen Group, Inc.
