Racked UpM1DTW uses limited materials to create maximal flexibility at Detroits archival and gallery space, LSCOByPaige Davidson November 6, 2024Interiors, Midwest (Nev Muftari)SHARECofounders of Detroits Little Village, Anthony and JJ Curis, came across a small 2,000-square-foot commercial building tucked away on Charlevoix Street within the creative campus. The campus is a new development by the duo dedicated to art and community programming brimming with parks, cultural spaces, housing, and galleries. With the help of local architecture firmM1DTW Architects, the abandoned building was converted into LSCO, a multipurpose facility that operates as an archive and space to showcase the art from neighboring galleries: Library Street Collective and Louis Buhl & Co. LSCO is a one-story building covered in crisp white paint, save for the narrow black front door. Large cut-outs where the original windows sat were replaced with nine-foot-tall frosted polycarbonate panels, transforming the small building into a glowing lantern at night and creating a soft natural light filter for the interiors during the day.
