Former Farmer’s Market Re-Shaped into Historic Apartment Building

Luxury Apartments & Lofts in Uptown Shelby, NC are Almost Ready for Occupancy

Where there once was a Farmer’s Market, now sits the construction site of one of Studio Fusion’s recent projects – Farmer’s Market Historic Apartments. Built in the early 1920s, the brick building on your right is the location of a former Farmer’s Market on Warren St. in Shelby, North Carolina. Located a block away from Lafayette Street, this apartment location provides numerous uptown restaurants and shops in walking distance for the residents.

Wade Nichols, Executive Director of the Uptown Shelby Association, says this apartment project is “a wonderful thing.” Nichols explains that there is a need for more apartments as most of the residential units in the uptown area remain full.**

Projected to be finished in May of 2012, this project will consist of 12 total apartments, a skylight, and possibly a roof-top patio. Including one and two bedroom apartments ranging in size from 1,300 to 1,800 square feet, there will be 6 apartments on the top floor and 6 on the bottom floor. In order to give off the luxurious yet still historic vibe, the hard wood floors are re-claimed/re-finished and the living rooms feature exposed existing brick walls.

Quoted in the Shelby Star newspaper, Mayor Ted Alexander seems very excited about this project. “That particular building has a lot of charm, a lot of character,” says Alexander. “Its original windows, old flooring, it’ll make really nice apartments.”**

1970′s Manufacturing Building Transformed into Modern Work Space

Project Profile: Ingersoll Rand Corporate Headquarters

47,479 Square footagee   |  Davidson, North Carolina

Completed on an accelerated schedule, the transformation of a former 1970s manufacturing building into office space help ease a lack of real estate on Ingersoll Rand’s corporate campus and executive headquarters. The client desired to create a more innovative and collaborative space for the employees that would also allow future spacing flexibility. To stay in live with the client’s corporate mission of safety, comfort, and efficiency, we created an airy, modern space using LEED tenance as a guiding principle.

The proverbial walls came down as the change management piece of the project were as important as the design of the space itself. Much was done on the front end of the schedule to communicate the improvements that were going to be made and that would positively affect the atmosphere of the “pioneers” who were willing to trust the vision of the team for something so different for their Headquarter’s campus.

With the addition of a mezzanine level, ceiling-to-floor windows, a sky light and several other interior additions, this manufacturing space quickly turned into a modern office environment that Ingersoll Rand’s Executives were fighting over.
