This 1926 commercial
building is located in the historic South End of Charlotte, NC. The
project entailed turning a two story retail location into a three story
mercantile building with a garden terrace. The most significant
challenge was performing the remodel in such a way as to maintain the
“grandfathered” status of the building. This included segmenting the
permitting and construction into five distinct phases. The building was
made fully ADA compliant. An elevator was added to reach all three
floors in addition to handicap ramps and an area of rescue. The arbor at
the rooftop is a wonderful place to gather and enjoy the city skyline.
