FACS 460 Interior Design 4
Mixed-Use Urban Infill
The final open lot located on the Main Street of downtown Lynchburg, Virginia, served as the location and objective for this senior capstone project. A mixed-use building was designed by analyzing the surrounding Lynchburg community and business locale, addressing gaps in businesses and residences. The primary goal for this project was to carefully assess, identify, and incorporate building occupancies that would complement and serve the thriving Lynchburg community. The finished product featured main-street access to a local grocery store accompanied by a quaint coffee and drinks shop, a basement gym, dog grooming and day care business, and twelve apartments (1 and 2 bedrooms). These mixed building uses were carefully designed for ADA compliance with a focus on general accessibility and functionality. Further, building materials and features throughout businesses and residences were selected with sustainable consideration, creating an environmentally-conscious structure singularly crafted to meld with and benefit the Lynchburg community.
