Changing uses over time

This small building was originally a carport and has since been converted into public space. Sandwiched between these two sets of row houses, the space has been renovated and enclosed to allow for public use. The form consists of a flat roof and window sizes that speak to the adjacent buildings. As well the building is relatively small compared to surrounding structures and is recessed back from the other buildings, allowing for a more enclosed entry. However one thing noticeably missing is wheelchair accessibility, which is probably a factor of the age of the building/renovation.
