It's hard to believe that we started construction in January on 24 new studio spaces and were at 100% occupancy within two months. We are currently working on adding another 5000 square feet and could begin construction sometime in late Fall or during this Winter.

Working Artists' Studios with a Touch of Rugged Industrial Cool

Here are a few construction pix of what we're putting together at Hardy Street Studios...

The main hallway looking east. We now have showspace walls 16' high and a city block long.


The main hallway looking west with two custom door installations.


This door is 10' tall, 6' wide & rolls back on overhead rails.


The one across from it is an ancient 6' x 8' metal clad, rolling fire door that was original to this 1930's warehouse

And here are a few more of the studio doors as rendered by the artists or per custom install...






Here is the connecting hall that leads to our older Nance Street Studios...


...and one of the studios in that part of the building.
