Level II: Exterior rehabilitationEnclosure of breezeway space and entrance modifications on existing building.
- Removal of existing single door at main entrance. Removal of existing storefront windows and double door between main entry and breezeway. The doors and windows will be retained for reuse. A new wall be installed in their place that encloses the existing breezeway, and the roof will be extended in-kind to cover the additional space. A new overhead door and bar-height counter will be installed on the left of the wall, and a new overhead door and storefront window system will be installed on the right of the wall, at the former breezeway entrance. The salvaged double-door will be installed at the main entry. A new wall will be installed at the rear of the existing breezeway to enclose it from the rear patio, and the salvaged door from the existing main entry will be installed on the left, along with a new overhead door and storefront window system installed on the right; this will not require the roof to be extended.
Property Notes / Work to be Completed
- Overall, the enclosure of the breezeway space and modifications to the entrance meet the design guidelines. Guidelines encourage that commercial storefronts be pedestrian oriented with a consistent rhythm of windows and doorways. Enclosing the breezeway will give the façade a more consistent rhythm by replicating the existing operable storefront windows and overhead doors, and it will provide a secondary entrance that is compatible in scale with the building. Installing a double-door at the primary entrance will make the entrance more noticeable to pedestrians on both Broadway and W Jackson Avenue. All new walls will feature significant transparency, and all new doors and storefront windows will match the existing design and materials.
