The Finn Lofts are located in the heart of what has come to be known as the Commerce Street Arts District in Wichita, Kansas. The project converts a century-old warehouse building into a community of dwellings and retail spaces that compliment the local arts community.
The challenge was to create 27 residential units, all with natural light and ventilation. Originally used as a transfer point for cargo between locomotives and trucks, the existing structure has a large square floor plate with limited opportunity for apertures to the exterior.
The solution is based on the simple notion that light can be borrowed both horizontally and vertically. By understanding the constraints and opportunities of the site and existing structure, our approach focuses on four strategies; adapting, removing, carving and adding.
