Process/Practice Studio

Concept approach by Jim Blackstock of Process/Practice Studio and Jonathan Hill

“Working with an existing strategy to develop a neighboring lot, we designed an ancillary building that houses a small tasting room, new bar service, bathrooms, and elevators for the historic theater. This allows the preservation of the original theater while creating a secondary space that upgrades needed services and acts as a gateway to an outdoor beer garden.”
- Jim Blackstock

Process/Practice studio is a husband-wife team based in Columbus, IN dedicated to small-scale infill development, thoughtful housing, and connected community spaces that are deeply informed by research and grounded in local context. We care about creating more resilient communities, places, and organizations.

Process / Practice envisions a larger lobby space spanning between the existing buildings and opening to a rear outdoor area.
Process / Practice shows how the current lobby could transition into the newer space to the east without removing the charm of the existing deco lobby.
Greenery is abundant in the outdoor space envisioned by Process / Practice to help soften the masonry walls that enclose the space.
