Turkey Bend on Buffalo Bayou is a former barge terminal located at the convergence of Buffalo Bayou and Navigation Boulevard with history dating back to 1937. Design of The Warehouse at Turkey Bend called for a careful approach that preserved the facility’s raw and dramatic character while integrating new uses and activities. Rather than a conventional historic preservation approach, Buffalo Bayou Partnership and the project’s architect, NADAAA, proposed an adaptive reuse plan aimed at balancing conservation priorities with preparing the building for its new life. This layered approach to design and construction called for reclaiming and recontextualizing materials wherever possible.
