Star Power: A New Afrotainment Studio

/by

Canin Associates’ Architecture Studio has had the opportunity to work on a studio remodel design for Afrotainment. Located on International Drive, the television studio is 30,000 square feet.

The existing building lacked character so Canin proposed expanding the center of the existing facade and incorporating a marquee sign above the building entrance. The interior of the building becomes part of the facade with glass windows that allow a series of posters to be viewed from the exterior of the building. The interior of the building contains a theater, offices, and studio spaces. The remodel of this building creates a fully equipped space for Afrotainment to produce high-quality content.

Creative Couples: Bryn Mawr Attached Duplexes

Working within the City of Orlando’s strict site development standards for R-2 zoning on two infill lots in College Park, Canin Associates is completing construction documents for four new innovative 1,450 sq. ft., two-story duplex plans that live large with private rear-yard courtyards.

Vegetation in the courtyards helps to divide the hardscape and provides a connection to nature for the homeowners overlooking the space. The duplexes are designed in both traditional and modern styles, and the entrances to the duplexes are on opposite sides of each other, making them feel like independent homes. The two-story duplexes have a one-car garage, first-floor master bedroom, and two additional bedrooms upstairs.
