Mindspring Consulting

This small project for Mindspring Consulting is a classic example of how to assist a small business in the conversion and expansion of an existing residential property into an office use. After acquiring the property in 2002, we assisted Mindspring with how to best utilize the existing spaces and configure a new addition for needed group meeting, handicap restrooms, and new entry. The addition and associated parking were placed at the rear of the existing residence with the new entry taking the form of a loggia large enough for guests waiting for group meetings. The meeting room is designed to accommodate up to 20 people for lectures, seminars, and small group discussion.

The exterior expression is transitional in nature with modern leanings, but integrating materials that complement the existing. Since the property location was zoned residential, but located along a busy thoroughfare, we assisted in successfully navigating a conditional zoning process with the City of Asheville.

Recently we completed a similar project for an adjacent property that the business purchased, converting the existing residence into a wellness center with yoga and pilates studios. A small entrance was designed to complement the Mindspring project, which provided handicap access and a new lobby.
