Little Village is thrilled to announce the Cadillac Arts Centre (the CAC)— an ambitious adaptive reuse project transforming a vacant 25,000 square foot building at 1533 Cadillac into a vibrant hub for arts, culture, and community activity. Designed by Detroit-based architecture studio @M1DTW and in collaboration with @CastorDesign , the CAC will feature artist studios, nonprofit organizations, and creative spaces, plus publicly accessible courtyards and greenspaces designed by @OSD_OfficeofStrategyandDesign . The CAC will be home to arts organizations like @InsideOutLiteraryArts , @BlackArtLibrary , a neighborhood-run ceramics studio, and the nonprofit community organization the Villages CDC (@thevillagesofdetroit ). An outdoor courtyard along St. Paul will connect visitors to @Bowerbird.Home.Detroit , @DetroitTakeMeHome , and @InThicketBooks . “InsideOut Literary Arts is known across the City as a catalyst for creativity and an amplifier of youth voice through the power of the written and spoken word,” says Suma Karaman Rosen, Executive Director of InsideOut. “As we celebrate our 30th anniversary, the timing couldn’t be better — we’re very excited about this new home for our next chapter.” Opening in early 2026, the Cadillac Arts Centre will be a new anchor for the greater East Village neighborhood — where creativity, community, and collaboration meet.

Water Street Coffee Drive-Thru designed to enhance the relationship between architecture and automobile by conveying moments of the cafe experience to patrons that never leave their cars.⁠ ⁠ A large corner window, situated in a field of western red cedar, provides a strong connection between the automobile occupants entering the site and the baristas inside. This moment is further enhanced by a glazed ceramic wall which provides a welcoming and warm interior backdrop.⁠ ⁠ Various brick bonding patterns were deployed across the exterior façade to add variation and texture to a building experienced at close distance and slow speeds.⁠ ⁠ Enjoy! ⁠ ⁠ Photo: Jeffrey Kilmer⁠ ⁠ #m1dtw #architecture #design #smallpractice #designdeliver ⁠#coffeeshop⁠

The 6 Salon Pop-up was a temporary salon conceived, designed, and constructed in 11 days.⁠ ⁠ The tectonic and visual language of the pop-up telegraphed both urgency as well as the underlying predicament of the salon being flooded as a means of shared acknowledgment and participation.⁠ ⁠ A wide divider made of metal studs supported mirrors emblazoned with yellow hazard markings and housed the relocated storage pods. Construction lighting supplemented existing track lighting and plastic yellow fence infilled the atrium facing storefront, announcing the presence of the salon while also providing privacy. Snow camouflage draped along an existing demising wall provided texture while removing any need to paint.⁠ ⁠ The pop-up, separated from the client’s other salon by one tenant space, was linked by an existing service corridor, allowing existing back-of-house salon areas to support the pop-up.⁠ ⁠ Good, Fast, and Cheap. Perhaps the only time we’ve seen a client get all three.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Photo: @truespaces.co ⁠ ⁠ #m1dtw #architecture #smallpractice #designdeliver #6salon #salondesign

The strategy for windows and skylights at Oakridge Dental Center were designed to restrict views to the landscape and the sky. A blue-painted core with floating displays is anchored in the middle. We’ve always thought that we framed the sky outside, but maybe we built one inside too?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Photo: @truespaces.co ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #m1dtw #smallpractice #architecture #designdeliver #design #designinterior #architecturedesign #archdaily #modernarchitecture ⁠
