Fusion is a business that is mainly focused on the use of organic cosmetic products and sustainable living in a creative way. Many elements of the design are going to include a professional hair salon, cosmetology school, a fashion and art display area where local designers can showcase their work, and also a place where fashion, art, and hair shows can take place. This part of the space can also be used for other events where people can rent out the space. Fusion is focused on bringing the creative arts back into downtown Baton Rouge to help revive this historical part of town.
Fusion is going to occupy the King Building which is located at 200 Lafayette Street in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. This building was first built in 1932 as the headquarters for Standard Motor Car Company. In the design of this space I am going to restore parts of this building back to its original context but with a new age design twist. I am also going to rebuild the King Building in a sustainable manner which plays off the organic aspect of the business.
Below is a stacking diagram that distinguishes the role of each floor in the building:
The total square footage of the King Building is 42,744 s.f.
