While the building’s past shunned diversity, its new uses will focus on unity, says the team at Murphy & Dittenhafer Architects.
“It’s given us more time to work on design and produce what we need to produce,” one of the firm’s Architects says. “It’s changed the way we’re doing things in a good way.”
The mandate for Murphy & Dittenhafer Architects, the firm designing the ramps, was to disturb as little history as possible.
Work in many of these projects stems “from the more humanistic side of design,” says one of the firm’s Architectural Designers.
The advantage in having both the architectural component and the interiors component in the same office is that “there is a lot of design collaboration from the beginning,” says Associate and Lead Interior Designer Lisa Clemens.
