406 Lucerne ave - renovation
Location : lake worth beach, FL
Area : 2818 sf
Phase : under-construction
the existing building used to be a pharmacy. the new owner decided to renovate the building into a co-working space for young professionals in the area.
The project needed to be budget conscious so that meant looking into the existing store and preserving as mush of the original structure as possible. Early in the project the building most dominant features were identified and cataloged so that the new design could be synthesized into a new construct that did not forget the original common elements that made the building so iconic for so many years.
Special care was taken to ensure that these elements were maintained and upgraded into the new uses. The preservation of the building was key to the entire renovation. The original building has a simple open floor plate design. the main elements added to the building are new storefronts for each office unit and a metal mesh along the roof top with signage added.
The idea of the renovation was to preserve the simplicity if the building elements while preparing the building for its new uses essentially breathing new life into the iconic structure.
