Rough Trade
The Palombo Group had the privilege of completing Construction Management services for Rough Trade, a London based vinyl shop looking for a home base in New York. This exciting build involved a 15,000 square foot music store and entertainment venue, located in Brooklyn, NY. The building itself was converted from a former prop warehouse into a modern open-floorplan music shop with a cool, industrial aesthetic. The interior of the building’s design incorporated retired shipping containers into areas of the sales floor and offices, saving them from the landfill and adding to the industrial feel of the space. The shipping containers were cut and stacked to provide multiple levels of visual interest and make the most of the high warehouse-style ceilings.
The vinyl shop floor leads to an open space equipped with a concert venue, sound booth, cocktail bar, and more. This $1.5 Million reconstruction was completed on time and under budget in the Summer of 2014.
