The 636 Building

Deerfield, Illinois

Transformation of a formerly nondescript retail building into an attractive downtown asset. Interiors were gutted to expose the building shell and bowstring roof trusses, providing a fitting setting for its new bike shop tenant.

Removal of the building’s vestibule, canopies, signage and mansard fascia left an attractive shell, which when combined with masonry restoration, contemporary cladding materials, a new solar shade and downtown streetscaping improvements, resulted in a modern-look building.
