CONGRESS MIXED USE

The historic Trading Post is opened up and stripped back to its structural core to maximize connection and view to the street. Historically-inspired awnings and panels shade both the older structure as well as the New Mixed Use structure to define a passive approach to heat gain and energy-efficiency. Generous shaded glazing is appropriately placed for upper floor residential units while the lower floor commercial space is pulled back to express the concrete podium construction and better position glass away from direct sunlight.
