2206 Locust Street, located in the Downtown West district of St. Louis, Missouri, is an adaptive reuse project transforming a historic two-story building into 13 loft apartments and a ground-floor retail space within earshot of CITYPARK. The design maximizes space while using light to create a responsive and context-sensitive environment, enhancing both the building’s functionality and connection to the surrounding urban landscape. With the plywood finally removed from the window openings, the original terracotta tile facade was brought back to life to shine for the neighborhood once again.
