Architects love to solve problems with design. For this little but mighty temporary project, a playful storage box was constructed as an organizing element for a 1,500 SF live/work loft . Taking care not to impact the rental’s existing structure, a kit-of-parts assembly was created to house additional storage, showcase books, and provide a lofted sleeping platform. OSB sheathing and composite shelving were selected for their raw aesthetic. The $300 box was designed to be disassembled, but the new tenants loved it so much they requested to keep it!
