Originally built circa 1880, this adaptive reuse project transforms an historic stone dynamite shed into a mixed-use building to serve as the local office with an apartment above for Schuchart/Dow Construction.

The concept for the update centers on the re-use of materials that came about from the renovation itself, and the blending of those materials with a select palette of contemporary insertions of steel and fir boards. The integration of old and new combines original 3-foot-thick stone walls, reclaimed wood boards and integral stair and wall detailing within a simple, exposed structure.

Hardware from the Tom Kundig Collection—oversized roller wheels on the desk—lend a contemporary accent to the historic shed.
