THE SHOREHAM YARDS ROUNDHOUSE BECAME AN ADAPTIVE RE-USE PROJECT CONVERTED TO ROUNDHOUSE BREW CO. AFTER RESEARCH, THE BEST PROGRAM FIT FOR THE LOCATION AND BUILDING WAS A BREWERY, RESTAURANT, PUB AND ART STUDIOS. THESE SPACES WERE ALL LINKED BY THE “TRACK” GALLERY SPACE THAT CONNECTED ALL THREE SPACES. THE ROUNDTABLE IN THE CENTER WAS CONVERTED TO AN ICE RINK TO BE USED BY THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
