Read 718

READ 718 will combine a ground floor and cellar commercial space to create a new not-for-profit tutoring center for middle school and young teen students. The design features a habitable bookshelf with a built in reading nook and informal seating platform for group activities. The bookshelf structure frames the new stair that connects to the cellar space. The cellar is being opened up to the back yard with a new areaway and floor to ceiling windows connecting to an outdoor stepped seating area for informal reading and gathering. On the main floor a series of felt wrapped baffles will provide acoustic absorption. Read 718 will open in January 2015. Download PDF
