5940 Magazine

The project is the outcome of two major design challenges; the clients desire to create a contemporary building capable of referencing its historic setting and maximizing the built square footage on a limited site.
The resulting building is one that blends seamlessly in scale to its surroundings, maintaining a jewel-like quality in its proportion and detailing.
