Market St. in the Cole Noble Commercial Arts District just east of the Mile Square downtown.
The one-story, 1950s building will serve as a studio and headquarters for Axis Architecture + Interiors and Rundell Ernstberger Associates LLC.
Renovations of the former Perfection Bakery will provide shared meeting spaces, libraries and a kitchen/break room. (IBJ Photo/ Perry Reichanadter)The renovation, which calls for shared meeting spaces, libraries and a kitchen/break room, began this month. Exterior improvements including a garden, secured courtyard, paving and plantings also are planned.
Before the purchase, Axis had occupied about half the building as a tenant. The project will transform the remaining roughly 5,000 square feet of unfinished space. REA was founded in 1979, while Axis was formed in 1995.
