New Construction,
addition and remodel

The Fire and Earth Art Center added two
stories to a one-story building to house a
new art school with dormitories, studio
space, classrooms and offices. The
addition also included a live/work home
and studio for Marty Eichinger, Scupltor.
A four story adjacent addition shared a
circulation core with the school and
included ground level retail with market
rate studios.

“John was the perfect architect to help me
design an art school. As a sculptor, I have
some pretty clear ideas about how I think
things should look… John took
my ideas,
grew the good ones into better ones
...In
the end, we have a building that
we both
like and that we both take pride in
having created.

—Martin Eichinger, Sculptor and
Building Owner
