Project Update

As winter wraps up and spring is in the air, construction at Ādisōke continues to make steady progress.

Lights, camera, action!

If you’ve driven, walked, or cycled by Ādisōke recently, you have probably noticed just how busy the site is.

Patio and seating areas are starting to take shape, hinting at the inviting public spaces to come. The outdoor terrace will offer a place to read, relax, watch a performance, or have a family picnic.

Inside, fresh paint, finished doors, and acoustically designed ceilings and walls are transforming large open indoor areas into calm, welcoming spaces. Millwork installation continues around the stairs and throughout the atrium, bringing warmth and character to the interior.

Lighting features are being installed, and if you pass by Ᾱdisōke at night, you may catch a glimpse of the interior glowing to life.
