The Malt House in West Harlem represents a compelling case of urban transformation and architectural innovation. Located on West 127th Street, it is a prime example of how historical buildings can be repurposed to meet contemporary needs while retaining their cultural significance. The project is a fusion of four late-19th and early-20th-century structures, ingeniously integrated by the architecture firm Gluck+ into a cohesive office building. This integration showcases a deep respect for the original architectural elements, juxtaposing the old brickwork with modern glass additions, without attempting to mimic the past. The Malt House's evolution from a brewery to a multifunctional office space illustrates the broader trend of adaptive reuse in architecture. This approach not only preserves the physical structures of the past but also maintains the historical essence and identity of neighborhoods. In Harlem, a neighborhood rich in history and culture, the project navigates the complexities of urban development, balancing the preservation of architectural heritage with the necessity for economic revitalization. Scott Metzner's vision for the area, driven by a desire to revitalize the neighborhood without erasing its history, emphasizes the nuanced relationship between real estate development and cultural preservation. Despite facing challenges such as the pandemic, which disrupted the commercial real estate market and altered work habits, the project reflects a commitment to sustainable urban growth. It demonstrates the potential of adaptive reuse to contribute to the economic and cultural vitality of communities. Furthermore, the Malt House and the broader redevelopment efforts led by Metzner's company, Janus, address critical themes in urban development, including the interplay of preservation, neighborhood history, race, public space, and architecture. By weaving together the old and new, these efforts aim to create spaces that are not only functional but also rich in character and history. The project, therefore, stands as a model for future developments that seek to honor the past while embracing the future. The story of the Malt House is emblematic of the challenges and rewards of adaptive reuse. It highlights the importance of architectural sensitivity, community engagement, and visionary planning in preserving the cultural heritage of urban neighborhoods. As cities continue to evolve, projects like the Malt House serve as reminders of the value of integrating historical preservation within modern urban development strategies. #AdaptiveReuseExcellence #HarlemRenaissance2020s #HistoricalPreservationInnovation #UrbanDevelopmentChallenges #ArchitecturalIntegration #CommunityIdentityPreservation #SustainableUrbanGrowth #CulturalSignificanceInArchitecture #FutureOfHistoricBuildings #RevitalizingHarlem #HistoricPreservation #CommunityRevitalization #JanusProperty Jerry Salama Sarah Nia Archer-Days

Reading 'New York Magazine' architecture critic Justin Davidson's thoughtful review of the Malt House and the Manhattanville Factory District around W127 Street in West Harlem: "Malt House is an artful assemblage of four late-19th- and early-20th-century structures that the architecture firm GLUCK+ fused into one and topped with another handful of stories. From the street, the upper and lower parts look sharply distinct: glass above, brick below. Nobody’s tried to disguise any one element’s age by reproducing vintage windows, say. And yet, inside, old and new intertwine artfully, transforming a rough utilitarian shell that its owners beat up, punched through, and patched as their needs changed into a place that continues to tell the story of New York. [...] Look closely at the way these structures are joined, their personalities intact despite all the rejiggering, and you can only admire how much unnecessary elegance builders of that time incorporated into a plant without pretensions or preciousness. Honoring that craft today is far more time-consuming and expensive than it would be to knock the whole thing down and start again, so it’s a testament to the partnership between Janus and GLUCK+ that Malt House came out both as rough and as usable as it has — and that the labor doesn’t show."

There have been many changes since 2017, but the fundamentals and #Dinesen passion remain the same. #Sustainable sourcing combined with symbiotic partnerships run through us as strong as ever. For some key technical points on how to achieve the best from some of the finest planks on the market.

Can differentiating actually just result in confusion? Whilst out doing some in store safaris for a project I spotted this; although fun and different for the #plantbasedmilk space, at a #system1 level I honestly just thought the blue milk had been put back on the wrong place (not aided by the dairy milk section stocked right next to it) Interestingly, in isolation I’ve always loved plant based milks in a ‘traditional’ milk bottle, I think it looks great. But, with that said, it just goes to show how important the context that surrounds pack can be when it comes to stand out and comprehension #productdesign #packdesign #packstructure #brand #packaging #design
