Typology
Residential Architecture › Adaptive Reuse
Adaptive reuse is a creative and sustainable solution to modern architectural challenges. By repurposing old buildings, architects can create spaces that are both functional and full of character, all while reducing the environmental impact of construction. While these projects come with logistical hurdles, the results are often worth the effort.
How do you infuse a sense of community into your office space?Enter Tricon, a project spanning 66k square feet, tailored for a home rental company with a
heart. This transformation turned a run-of-the-mill office park tilt-up warehouse in Tustin into a vibrant, bustling hub for the adaptable and diverse workforce of Tricon Residential.
