✨ Transformation Happenings ✨

Back in the day, our beloved building—now affectionately known as the Ballpoint Building—featured a utilitarian fire escape on the second floor. By the time we took over, the fire escape had been partially bricked up, leaving only a small window. 🏢🪟

Determined to honor the building’s history, we envisioned restoring the original door opening. Our solution? Installing a stunning balcony door in its place! 🚪➡️🌿

Excited to see our vision coming to life and can’t wait to share the final reveal with you all soon! Stay tuned! 🔨✨
