This project reworked and expanded an existing shotgun house on the southern edge of downtown, Louisville.Initially found in extreme disrepair, the building required new floor structure and footings throughout, as well as new structure and leveling for the two-story “camelback” portion of the building.The building is mixed-use and includes an architect’s office, living spaces and a meeting/gallery space. A new 200 square-foot addition to the rear of the building, clad in corrugated metal panels, expands the studio space and shields the site from the open surface lots to the north.
