GDA led the redevelopment of the Schindel-Rohrer Building in Hagerstown, Maryland, constructed in 1888 and 1918, of heavy timber and masonry construction formerly housed a hardware store and warehouse for much of the 20th century. GDA developed a new circulation core for the building's new restaurant, night club, banquette space, and offices. GDA prepared tax credit documents working with the Maryland State Historic Preservation Office and then construction documents for the adaptive reuse of 29,200 sf. GDA researched the original configuration of windows and storefront awning. The rejuvenated historical building featured two commercial spaces, including Ava night club and Duffy's restaurant.
Ava: In the rear of the Schindel-Rohrer Building, the owner wanted a night club that was to be modern, chic and rustic, showing off the old 19th century warehouse brick and timber interior. GDA choreographed a combination of casual seating areas, curvilinear bar with custom backlit beverage display, outdoor terrace, and lighting design to achieve the client's sophisticated goals. Duffy's on the Potomac: GDA developed the design for this new restaurant building on key features of the former hardware and kitchen supply shop interior. Work included the restoration of a rich beveled glass storefront, lofty pressed metal clad beams, custom lighting, booth seating, signature bar and new kitchen.
