Respecting the Bones. Refining the Function.

An adaptive reuse project currently underway at the Shops at Pierpont, Old Cuss is a café and boutique that wanted to embrace the character of the existing space while preparing it for the demands of a modern, hospitality-driven business. Revival is working within the building’s original bones—honoring its texture, proportions, and patina—while carefully integrating the infrastructure, layout, and flow required for daily service and retail operations. The approach prioritizes functionality without erasing history, allowing the space to feel authentic rather than overproduced. The result in progress is a thoughtful balance between old and new, where the existing architecture remains present and celebrated, and the business is set up to operate efficiently from day one.
