The 4800 Block of Rhode Island Avenue (Shops of Critterden) is a volunteer project sponsored by Neighborhood Design Center (Prince George’s County Affiliate). In the focus of this conceptual project to develop an existing garage to be re-used for open office space with an artist gallery and apartment studio. For the existing space furniture from Haworth and Herman Miller for the proposed Artist Studio.
The project location is at the Arts District of Hyattsville in Maryland which is on Baltimore Avenue. In the charrette sponsored by Neighborhood Design Center, participating students from University of Maryland School of Architecture was given the assignment to produce “conceptual” sketches for the existing garage and store front at the Shops at Crittterden. The charette took place at Hyattsville City Hall on February 2, 2013.
As part of the charette, existing photos were taken and preliminary sketches were produced for the exterior and interior of these spaces. In the entry that was my task for the Interior Design and space planning of the existing garage.
