The Joyce Apartments Adaptive Reuse

Originally constructed in 1911, the renovated The Joyce hotel provides 66 low-income, single-occupancy units with kitchenettes and shared bathrooms. The main level contains support offices and a clinic to provide medical services. Seismic upgrades were made to the unreinforced masonry structure, all building systems were replaced, and a new elevator was installed. Exterior brickwork was repointed and cleaned, and the upper story windows were replaced. The storefront was reconstructed to provide pedestrian weather protection and visual interest.
