KerryTown Shops
Ann Arbor, Michigan

This renovation and expansion project joined together three formerly vacant, dilapidated warehouses dating from 1874 to create a unique collection of specialty shops, restaurants and indoor markets.  A section of the complex also functions as an outdoor Farmers Market.

The buildings are interconnected by two covered bridges, allowing convenient circulation throughout the complex.  Outdoor areas between the buildings were developed into beautifully landscaped, brick-paved courtyards to accommodate pedestrian traffic as well as offer places for relaxation and special events.

The new copper-roofed brick tower serves as a unifying focal point and the brick veneer carefully matches the detailing of the adjacent older building.  The interior decoration focuses on a theme of bright, vibrant colors, making the shops an inviting place to visit.
