Fortune Factory
Building Character : Episode BDC-404 -- More Projects »
Kate and Joshua Height had the good fortune of finding a building in Chicago's Fulton Market area they could renovate as a residence. During the conversion, they came across a clue to the building's former use when they uncovered packets of soy sauce packed in the walls as insulation. Turns out, the building was once a fortune cookie factory and the previous owners had found a creative use for soy sauce packets.
The kitchen was actually built around the building’s original 6-foot-long industrial sink. Joshua, a furniture designer, likes to recycle materials from the building and he’s got plenty of room to store his collections in a first floor studio. The old maple flooring was reused as kitchen countertops and security bars were incorporated into the rails of a chair.
