A formerly underutilized basement, cnct. design & development saw an opportunity to provide high-demand programming in the low-cost space. Taking advantage of at-grade access, garage doors are replaced with storefront systems to expand art studios and an architecture & development office into the newly developed courtyard and art alley, brightening the interior with natural light and the former service areas with new activities.
The Ugly Art Co. will fill the majority of the adapted space with art studios and galleries, with a lobby-facing pop-up bar for special events.
The renovation of approximately 2,500 sf of courtyard facing basement will serve as the headquarters of cnct. design & development, accommodating our growing team and oversight of our Edge District assets and projects.
