It's not pretty, but its home.
This building has been a house, a photo processing lab, and even a storage shed
for a random collection of metal patio furniture. When our leasing agent first
brought us by we thought he had lost his mind (he kept repeating the word
'potential'). The interior was in utter disrepair and we said there was no way
we could tackle such a messy clean up project. So we looked around Raleigh for a
few more weeks only to discover that rent was ridiculously expensive every other
place we could find. After exhausting just about all other options, we came back
to Tower St. one last time. That's when we fell in love with this dilapidated
labor of love. We spent countless hours working it into shape and making it fit
for our studio to call home. After months of working on the building while
simultaneously running the studio, we finally called the project complete.
More than two years later we are still finding projects to complete and we
continue to tailor the space to suit our needs. Though we will move on to bigger
and better things sometime soon, this house will always keep a special place in
our memories as the place where the craziness began.
