Project goal
Zizzo was in need of a partner who could carefully approach bringing new life to 155 years of history
The space is composed of three buildings, each roughly 155 years old, that had been joined into a single structure over their long history. Our team approached the work with the care that a place this age deserves, preserving its character while preparing it for its next chapter.
Restoration on this scale asks for patience and precision. Gardner delivered both.
A refreshed exterior
Simple upgrades refresh and unify the building exteriors
Outside, a fresh coat of white paint gave the building a clean, striking presence on the block, while 27 new lighting fixtures frame the structure and highlight its restored details after dark. Atop the building, a new rooftop terrace gives Zizzo Group a place to step away, host guests, and take in the city they call home, complete with a fire table that makes the space inviting long after the sun goes down.
Interior upgrades
Modern space for a creative team
Inside, Gardner built out 12,000 square feet of office space designed for the way Zizzo Group works. Conference rooms feature 70-inch touch-screen televisions, along with camera and microphone setups ready for digital meetings with clients anywhere.
One conference room even offers stadium-style seating, giving the team a bold space to gather, present, and collaborate.
