Adaptive Reuse: A PLAYful Transformation

Hey everyone, buckle up because we're taking you on a tour of what's been happening at the site of our adaptive reuse project! Remember that magnificent old building we told you about? Well, it's shedding its past like a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis, and we're buzzing with excitement.


PLAY: Coming Soon

Can't miss it, can you? That bold, fun font of "PLAY" peeking out from the streetside windows is more than just a tagline; it's a promise! We're not just restoring a building, we're injecting a shot of pure fun and possibility. Imagine laughter spilling out onto the street, music wafting through the air, and the buzz of excitement drawing people in. This isn't just a building, it's an invitation to join the party!

Mastermind's Blueprint

Sprawled across the makeshift table you'll see the heart and soul of this project – the architectural drawings. Each line, each intricate detail, represents the culmination of brainstorming, meticulous planning, and sheer creative passion. This isn't just a building; it's a story waiting to unfold, and these blueprints are the prologue.

Ceiling Revelations!

Feast your eyes on this beauty – it's not just any ceiling, it's the soon-to-be showstopper of PLAY! We're refinishing and polishing the original tongue and groove wood ceiling which will act as a captivating beacon, drawing streetside strollers through the doors and into the vibrant energy within. Imagine the warm glow spilling out onto the sidewalk, casting inviting shadows and transforming the streetscape.

Truss Triumph!

Look up, way up! Those majestic open bowstring trusses aren't just holding up the roof; they're a statement piece, a celebration of the building's architectural heritage. We're restoring them to their former glory, showcasing the craftsmanship and innovation of a bygone era. Soon, they'll be bathed in light, reminding everyone of the history woven into the very bones of this structure.


This is just a sneak peek into the magic happening on-site. Every nail hammered, every beam hoisted, brings us closer to giving this beloved building a new lease on life. We can't wait to share more updates with you as this architectural metamorphosis progresses! Stay tuned, because the best is yet to come.
