4340 Duncan – Cortex Innovation Community

The adaptive reuse project transformed the 1930 Crescent
Building, a long-vacant structure listed on the National
Register of Historic Places, into a multitenant lab and office
facility for St. Louis’ growing bioscience startup community.
The building, once a printing plant for the St. Louis Post-
Dispatch, now features modern lab and office spaces
within its historic walls. The team preserved the building’s
industrial character while introducing a new space program,
including glass-walled office suites, labs, support spaces,
and meeting rooms within a multistory atrium that once
housed printing presses.
DG2 Design designed the new entrance with a generous
ramp and native landscaping, connected the streetscape
into the Cortex Community, and added a walkout terrace and
green roof atop a previous 1950s addition to the building.

21c Museum Hotel St. Louis

21c Museum Hotel St. Louis invites visitors to explore the curiosity around every corner of its 10-story building and garden. Despite the challenges faced during the renovation of the 95-year-old former YMCA building, the remarkable and welcoming atmosphere of the hotel effortlessly overshadows them. 21c, a Louisville-based hospitality brand, transforms historic buildings into boutique hotels filled with modern art, including their signature colored penguin statues. St. Louis is the first location to feature an Art Park Garden, which includes a significant art piece in partnership with Laumeier Sculpture Park. The Art Park also boasts an outdoor dining area for the Idol Wolf restaurant and is designed to host wedding ceremonies, receptions, and concerts, featuring a custom concrete amphitheater and artificial turf lawns at both the top and bottom. The park connects to the streetscape with a grove of River Birch trees, providing a lovely spot to enjoy coffee from the Good Press Cafe.
