june lake brewery market
Wick Architecture and Design worked with June Lake Brewery to design the redevelopment of their property in downtown June Lake, California. The project scope included relocating the June Lake Market into a new building on the west side of the property. The three story project includes a commissary and storage on the first floor, the market on the 2nd floor at street level, and work force housing on the 3rd floor.
Wick Architecture and Design conceived the building as a series of layered strata. The lowest stratum is a concrete mass derived from the earth raised up to become the low walls and floors of the market. The highest stratum is a wood and steel mass, evoking the traditional peaked style of June Lake, which becomes the ceiling of the market space. A glass clerestory bridging the two volumes allows for mountain views and natural light through the market. An incised cut in the corner of the market creates an outdoor viewing and eating area.
