A historic newspaper office, reborn as a museum.
The project adaptively reused a historic newspaper office, pairing preservation sensitivity with new museum-grade interiors.
Two signature elements carried the design: large interior acoustical plaster ceilings in the gallery space, and custom EIFS shapes on the new tower designed to look like oranges and the leaves of orange trees.
How Caston Built It
The approach that kept the date
Acoustical plaster at gallery scale
Large interior acoustical plaster ceilings were installed across the gallery space, a specialty finish executed by Caston plaster crews.
A tower of oranges
Custom EIFS shapes on the new museum tower were fabricated and installed to read as oranges and orange tree leaves.
Seven scopes, one team
Framing, acoustical plaster, EIFS, scaffolding, drywall, fire protection specialties, and air barriers ran through Caston.
Respect for the original
The adaptive reuse kept the historic newspaper office legible while the new museum systems went in around it.
