Little Black Pearl's home is
a 40,000 s.f. facility designed by K2
Architects, and is comprised of teaching studios, cafe,
gallery, retail store, and
a two-story atrium space linking all these functions. The
atrium space also acts as a link between old and new, the
former a rectangular, terra-cotta storefront building and
the latter an L-shape structure wrapping the old storefront.
Naturally, the atrium is the interstitial space between these
two, though its presence extends to the exterior at the entry
(image on previous page) and a
prow that reaches out beyond the existing building. |
