Project Intent StatementLocated along the main commercial thoroughfare in Pittsburgh’s Central Lawrenceville neighborhood, the Lawrence Hall project took a unique abandoned building and transformed it into an exceptional gathering space and community asset. To create an informal, festive, and social dining experience, the design challenge was to honor the building’s original heavy timber truss framing and masonry, while introducing a totally new concept within the existing envelope.
