Merit Award Winner
Mill 19, Phases A & B
TEN x TEN
Award Year / 2022
Entry Category / General Design
Location / Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Nested within the armature of a 1,300-foot-long historic steel mill along Pittsburgh’s Monongahela River, two new buildings sit in the shadows of trusses clad with solar panels. The multi-phased adaptive reuse project is located within a 170-acre brownfield site that is being transformed into a highly sustainable, high-tech innovation district. The preserved steel frame of the Mill celebrates the history of labor and a regenerative future while providing new landscapes and experiences made from post-industrial remnants. A stormwater channel, immersive native planting, and public gathering spaces anchored by salvaged steel furniture re-imagine a public realm that celebrates industrial legacy.
