During this renovation, the original stone and brick masonry walls were stripped of paint, exposing building's original, natural material palette. Aside from exterior walls and roof, the building - which had long been used as a secure car park was - was almost completely gutted. The renovation created some 55,000 square feet of program space within a 20,000 square foot building footprint with below-grade and mezzanine spaces.
This building is one of several adaptive reuse projects completed by GBD Architects in a five-block redevelopment project encompassing the former Blitz-Weinhard Brewery site, also known as the Portland Brewery Blocks. The development site includes five contiguous blocks on the south edge of Portland's Pearl District.
