The Power House Restoration/Renovation in St. Louis, Missouri. Designed by Cannon Design. Winner of the 2011 Institute Honor Award for Interior Architecture. Project description: "Built in 1928 and in disuse for almost three decades, the historic structure had confounded developers over the years who struggled with its tall volume but relatively small footprint. Crisp, modern workspace is juxtaposed against rusted columns and glazed brick. The new floors are held away from the north and east elevations, which contain dramatic Romanesque windows facing out to the city. The windows afford a significant amount of daylight and views to the surrounding neighborhood." Photo 6 of 27 in AIA Institute Honor Awards by Miyoko Ohtake
