A 19th-century warehouse in downtown Memphis, reimagined as a 12,000 square foot urban residence. The building’s history is preserved and made present — exposed brick, original timber, the weight of the existing structure — while the intervention is unmistakably contemporary. Steel, glass, and precision millwork are held in careful dialogue with what was already there.
The program is ambitious: a two-story library and mezzanine, a custom wine room, a rooftop terrace oriented toward the Mississippi River and the Memphis skyline. Each space connects to the next with intention, arranged around a bright central atrium that anchors the sequence and provides backdrop for the client’s evolving art collection.
