We were asked to refurbish the storefront of a Brooklyn-based indie music label and to give it an Instagram-ready façade.
The building that we are set to transform was once an auto repair shop; we will start this refurbishment project by replacing the old garage doors that currently front it with an updated modern storefront design.
Part of the requirement for the storefront is to make it more thermally efficient and fit to embrace the extreme polarizing New York temperatures. As a result, we have designed high spec, bespoke frames with special grade insulated glass. Not only will the storefront be energised in its design, but so too in its thermal performance, keeping ultra-cool through the summer and the perfect warming temperatures needed during the winter.
We will also be installing new energy-efficient heating and cooling solutions, once again bespoke created specifically for this unusual building. As a result, the entire functionality of the design will play an important role in both the sustainability of the buildings energy performance and consumption.

We have risen to the challenge of designing a storefront that both matches the modern Brooklyn vibe and meets the high expectations for energy efficiency, sound reduction, and environmental impact.
Permits are now in place to move forward with this bold project.
