Tell us about the fabrication of the fireplace hearth. We worked with a really skilled metal fabricator — Fortin Ironworks. We have worked with them for years and years now. They do great iron work and are very old school in their approach. The best part is, they truly love doing what they do. We actually had the fireplace shipped right to them so they could custom create the hearth for us. A lot of the original industrial details from this space are still present and some new elements are added, such as that I-beam hearth. Why was it important for you to keep this industrial aesthetic? The building itself is what we originally fell in love with. It was so unique and we wanted to bring out its inner character. I’d say in general, I gravitate to more imaginative spaces.
