Gallery Space Expansion Ideas (continued)

This is what some of main lobby space of the Historic Federal Building looks like. The above depicts the entrance with its vestibule. These are taken from photos I took a couple of years ago around the winter holidays.



Above, a look west towards the elevator and north vestibule with a great source of natural north light coming in through the arched tops of the windows.



A sample of one of the post office box walls. There are about 2,500 of these. I had thought at one time that auctioning these off as curio items might fund some of the renovation. Behind them is a large sorting room with more high ceilings and giant heating and cooling ducts. At one time the space was considered very favorable for an upscale restaurant. I think the end reason it didn't happen was the problem of parking space.

These would be in reference to the previous entry here a while back,

Refrigerator Solutions ~ Kitchen Cabinetry

Here are two views of a preliminary sketch which shrouds a large refrigerator with a broom closet and upper cabinets. There are no off-the-shelf broom closets larger than 24 inches deep, so this will have to be custom made. This carries the line straight across the front of the refrigerator, making the broom closet and upper above that 28 1/4 inches deep.

Timber Frame Studio - Additional Features

I've added a shelter from the elements over the entry in a balcony deck, a wood stove, and a sink for washing brushes or hands. This drawing also illustrates the north-facing bank of fixed safety windows.
