Monday Morning Photo(s) Live/Retail Edition
For today’s Monday Morning Photo(s) we have a look at a very innovative project in Providence, Rhode Island, the Arcade is the nation’s oldest indoor shopping mall and remains the historic heart of Providence’s downtown and now transformed into a community of 48 micro-lofts ranging in size from 225 to 300 square feet. All new retail and entertainment spaces have been moved into the bottom floor, resulting in a community-style complex that is open to the public. It’s one part restorative architecture, one part tiny-house movement, one part mixed-use development. Bravo to NC Architects for such an innovative concept!
