Signature mosaic tiling and decorative ironwork accent these new spaces, which include a 600 SF storefront, second floor apartment of 900 SF, spectacular 3,000 SF space on two levels at the building’s center, a sophisticated artist’s workshop space of 950 SF and gorgeous two story live/work unit of 1,875 SF at the rear of the courtyard which has been exquisitely landscaped.
