New Mexico Best of 2007/Santa Fe New Mexican

摘要

In downtown Santa Fe's historic district, this 4.7 million dollars project is the second phase of a two building project for the "West's Oldest Newspaper." This 29,500-sq-ft building reinvigorated the six-decade-old building for use by the staff and to house the printing facilities. The renovated building includes 6,800 sq ft of new mezzanine space. Adhering to Santa Fe's Historic Design Code was the major challenge. The original building was gutted, and a later addition to the building was demolished. The finished building features exposed ceilings, including original wooden and steel trusses and ductwork as well as skylights and windows. The lobby has new timber beams, and the mezzanine offers a stainless steel railing and cable system.
