This project encompasses the renovation of two aging metal warehouses located on an acre just North of the 610 loop. The larger warehouse, previously an auto body shop, measures 6000 square feet and will contain a residence, art studio, and garage. A light well puncturing the middle of the main residence brightens the core of the deep building. The over-sized roof opening washes light down three masonry walls that define the light well and divide the public and private realms of the residence. The interior of the light well is conceived as a serene place of reflection while providing ample natural light into the Master Bedroom. Large windows infill the previous garage door openings and are shaded by a generous steel canopy as well as a new evergreen tree court to the west. Adjacent, a 1200 sf building is reconfigured for a guest or visiting artist residence and studio with a shared outdoor patio for entertaining. Photo by Peter Molick, Art by Karin Broker

Outside, potted plants give life to the patio. “My idea of gardening is having someone else do it”, jokes Shapiro. He hired Pittsburgh event planner/botanical decorator Thommy Conroy to create a seasonal potted garden that stretches around the brick perimeter. As Daniel describes, “He transformed it into an urban oasis.”
Built over the concrete slab, the flooring of the terrace was Shapiro’s DIY project. The parquet pattern is made up of acacia tiles from IKEA. The introduction of wooden materials makes for a much more tactile experience, and enhances the comfort of the outdoor space.
