Building Highlights
The Building Story
Art Stable gives its live/work purpose a visible architectural form. Designed by Olson Kundig on the site of a former horse stable, the seven-story building uses large operable openings on both its street and alley sides. An unusually tall hinge, hand-cranked steel doors and a rooftop davit crane make it possible to move oversized objects into the building, recalling the handling systems of an urban warehouse.
Completed in 2010, the project contains five residential units above commercial and parking space. The homes were conceived as adaptable full-floor shells, so individual owners’ interior decisions are central to the finished residences. The architect also describes geothermal loops integrated into the structural piles for radiant heating and cooling. Together, those features make Art Stable a very specific choice for buyers interested in large-scale art, flexible interiors and the relationship between a home’s working spaces and its architecture.
