Through design discussions, the team selected to respect and celebrate the raw character of the existing structure through minimal insertions of complementary materials and space. The design team created both the office and living spaces in response to the building’s inherent cues. The design capitalizes on existing exterior openings which flood the spaces with abundant natural light.

Core elements, including vertical circulation and mechanical spaces, were utilized to divide spaces without dictating office activities or resident lifestyle. This process of minimal additions ultimately increases the flexibility of the solution and should ensure a sustainable future for The Jack.
