Our client, an established physical therapy clinic, came to Constructive Form to fully renovate the building into which they wished to expand: NE Glisan Street’s iconic Montavilla Sheet Metal building, which was built in 1912 and moved to its current site in the 1950’s.

 

Though we preserved the original double height, 7,000-square-foot structure, we gave it a full seismic upgrade, an extensive build-out and a cosmetic overhaul. The resulting space features light-filled atriums, an open gym, a series of private therapy rooms, and several offices and rental spaces. Our approach to the exterior façade, meanwhile, focused on easing access and creating a more pedestrian friendly facade. We also improved the exterior's overall  aesthetics, with the particular goal of making this eye-catching building play well with its neighbors.
