Inside, new programs are identified with fresh signage among the building’s old columns and wood floors. CitySeed operates a shared-use incubator kitchen at the Dixwell Q House. The factory’s brick facade was repaired and cleaned while new steel awnings clearly mark the entrances. Opaque fiberglass windows, originally installed to block views of the gold leafing operation and to resist shattering, were replaced with black-framed glass windows. Existing structures were gutted to make room for incubator kitchen space for fledgling local businesses, a community-based private school, and shared office space for local entrepreneurs and start-ups. The Starting Block is an incubator kitchen in Hart, population 1,900, in the rolling orchard- dotted countryside of the state of Michigan located in the north central US. Architecturally, the project focused on repairing the neglected factory complex to its original character. Bruner/Cott Architects has reimagined the Swift Gold Leaf Factory in Northeast Hartford into a 75,650-sf venue for generating opportunities for job creation and training, educating youth, improving resident health, and spurring economic growth.īruner/Cott, in partnership with Community Solutions, renovated and rehabilitated the former factory’s historical buildings and two homes, dating from 1887 to 1948. Many entrepreneurs dream of starting a food-related business, and yet its one of the most expensive.
