Press: Lofts and art space take shape, while going green

Purple flowers on the green roof at the Fay Street Lofts and The Warehouse Studios aren’t the only thing starting to bloom this spring over at the old Diggs building, formerly a meatpacking plant.

Columbia’s second warehouse art studio space is a project of founder Stephanie Lyons and local architect Brian Pape, and it will differ from the Orr Street Studios by offering live-in loft spaces, as well as open studio memberships, or access for artists to work space for a $99 a month membership fee. Warehouse Studios also will offer private studios similar to Orr Street Studios, Lyons said.

On the south side of the building - the commercial side that will hold retail space, classrooms, a gallery, private studios and open studio space - dividing walls have been built, drywall is going up, sprinklers are in and the oak staircase leading to the second floor is installed.

Interested in studio space

I am interest in possibly signing up for the open studio special. However, before making a decision I would like to know what the price is on the 500 sq ft studios and the 1000 sq ft studios. If I were to rent a 1000 sq ft studio could I reside in it? When will the studios be available? When can I come by and see the buildings interior and where do I go to pay for the studio special if I decide that is the way I want to go?
