The raw, industrial heritage of the original buildings and site is celebrated in the new buildings and architecture, through a combination of form and materiality.
MSA Design is working with PLK Communities as lead Architect and designer on the redevelopment of a 26 acre brownfield redevelopment in the City of Norwood, a Mid-town community in the heart of Greater Cincinnati. The site was the historic and original home of the United States Playing Card Company – an iconic designer and producer of playing cards, including the Bicycle Brand. After the company relocated to an alternate site in Greater Cincinnati, PLK salvaged the decaying complex and preserved four of the most iconic and beloved structures – the Clock Tower, Factory Building, Employee Dining Hall, and Power Plant Smoke Stack.
