NORFOLK, VA

This structure bears no resemblance to its original use as a roller skating rink, in its prominence in the 1960’s. The existing building structure provided an overall height that could fit four floors of self-storage cubicles under roof. The challenge to the GMF+ architects was to design a useful layout of rentable cubicles, accessible elevators, and hallway circulation that provided a feasible self-storage business investment for the owners. The completed design includes an array of adjoining single-story units.
