The erected 4-story structure employs a straightforward selection of materials that resonate with the local environment – brick and glass block. Originally targeting a 10,000-square-foot building with a rooftop healing garden, Enlace strategized to accommodate new programs and community demands. To realize these ambitions within budget constraints, we promptly followed a two-phase design approach. The initial stage involved a 2-story, 6,000-square-foot structure, followed by a second phase (4,000 square feet) that would elevate the building to 4 stories, including a green rooftop, as additional financing became available. In unison with our project team, we conceived this two-phase building design to adapt two different budget scenarios. The total cost of this project was $4 million.
