Our class had a tour of Revolution Mill from architect, Eddie Belk. The tour was very informative as Eddie discussed previous renovations were inappropriate for the period of the building. he pointed out the strategies that are being currently employed in the renovations. Planned in the mill are: apartments, artists studios, commercial/office space, and restaurants.
The work that is currently being done at Revolution Mill is pretty amazing and inspiring. One thing that I do not like about the renovation is the white-framed windows. It seems that metal, or at least darker mullions and frames would be more appropriate.
Building I (the one we are designing as a brew pub) is AMAZING!!! The ceiling details and the monitor roof are great inspiration for the brew pub design. I will highlight them in my design.
This is ceiling detail of Building I.
This gives a good idea of the volume of the space.
Landmark of Revolution Mill.
Great original stair with contrasting current design strategy (glass wall).
