This project included a renovation and insertion of a chancery into a Romanesque revival church, built by Richard Upjohn in 1844. The central focus of the project was to develop administrative offices; a lounge and event area located in the core of a two story, dilapidated and abandoned space. Ogawa/Depardon Architects? challenge was to insert modern elements into a historically restored architecture. This was accomplished with a suspended steel staircase and mezzanine as well as floor to ceiling glass and steel partitions separating the common space from the administrative offices. All historical elements within this landmark building were restored including renovation of the brick; stone and original cast iron columns as well as extensive restoration of painted friezes and the ceiling.
