Everyone knows the legend of the abandoned subway tunnels under Central Parkway—well, the City of Cincinnati recently requested ideas for their adaptive reuse. Check out this article for our and a few other local architects ideas. Check our Instagram over the next few weeks, we will be posting each Vertebra and sharing what we think should be a potentially groundbreaking project.

This kind of project is the one reason we became architects - to help. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to serve as a hub for training youth in key trades, including plumbing, electrical systems, welding, carpentry, and automotive maintenance. Beyond its primary educational mission, the facility will also serve the broader community, providing participating organizations with an invaluable opportunity to engage with and inspire the next generation of skilled professionals. Can’t wait to see it be built and serve the community.

The Doctor’s Building is a gem in the heart of Cincinnati. The conversion of the building into residential comes at a time when housing is in high demand and the commercial use of the building has really become obsolete. The remodel will provide 52 new units while still maintaining two levels of commercial space on the street. The conversion comes at an important time for the area and will hopefully breathe new life into the neighborhood.  

With the approval on the new zoning for 1564 Banklick Street in Covington the conversation of this historic warehouse into the 39 apartments can commence. As always, we honored to be working with the folks at Orleans Development. The projects we’ve completed together over the years are some of our favorites. They are catalyzing for growth and change in their neighborhoods - and they always look killer! Combining the beauty of the historic with the modern amenities we expect.

Hub+Weber Architects is honored to have designed this facility for Newport Central Catholic. We agree with Principal Kenny Collopy, who said, "It will provide our students with the facilities they need to excel in their athletic endeavors, serve as a hub for school spirit and pride, and most importantly support our mission of Catholic education." We look forward to our continued relationship with Newport Central Catholic and to support your mission of building facilities which help your pupils excel.

“The IRS site is returning the community back to something that’s more akin to what it was,” said Guthrie. “It’s a significant asset for Covington. The plan is to make a more cohesive community where you have offices, residential, and amenities in one space, but I’m afraid the degree of affordability might not serve most people.”

We were honored to help Revival Vintage with their expansion. We hope the new space, in the former YMCA building, will be just as unique and welcoming as some of the neighboring bars and restaurants we’ve designed. We’re looking at you Ripple, The Hannaford, and Hotel Covington! Visit Revival Vintage’s current location on 8th street until the new space at Pike and Madison opens soon!

“The potential routes are designed to complement the Metro bus service’s bus-rapid transit project, which will run along the Reading Road and Hamilton Avenue corridors, converging in Uptown near the University of Cincinnati and proceeding downtown through OTR. The ideas also seek to avoid duplicating existing bus service except where there is great economic development potential, said John Schneider, a longtime streetcar supporter.”

“Balancing the need for safety and the ability to control the classroom environment, the corridor-facing classroom walls feature switchable privacy glass – allowing the walls to go from transparent to opaque at the flick of a switch.”

The extension of the streetcar could have a big impact on how people use the Cincinnati and potentially the surrounding area like Covington, Newport, and beyond. Where do you think the streetcar should expand?

With an administration so committed to giving their students such a well designed space, its no surprise that Newport Central Catholic continues to grow and flourish. With a view like that its no wonder these kids can dream and reach for the stars!

Check out the recent write up from Cincinnati Preservation on where Hub+Weber has been and hopes to be in the future! There are some pretty sweet images of our new office and some of the new installations!

We have unveiled a comprehensive commitment aimed at addressing racial inequality and promoting diversity. We condemn racism in all forms and stand in solidarity with the BIPOC and all communities in their fight for justice and equality.

Hub+Weber worked with Boone County Parks & Recreation (BCPR) in winter of 2022-23 to create a conceptual design for a new facility that will consolidate their staff from multiple, rundown facilities into one new location. Hub+Weber conducted multiple visioning workshops with the BCPR staff to develop the program for the new facility. The new location will provide space for the administrative, programming, intendance, landscape, and natural areas staff under one roof.

Newport Central Catholic is full of rockstars! The education and facilities they provide to their staff and students is so important to their goals. We’re thrilled they have exceeded their fundraising goals with their latest capital campaign. It goes to show their mission is clear and its working.

We really hope the KYTC takes this event into account as they continue with the design and execution of the new bridge. The people want something more - a safer and more pedestrian friendly option - that looks good, too!

We’ve taken the bridge design further in an effort to illustrate its connection to the community. Safter connections are some of the driving forces in this design and part of the reason why we and our partners are so committed to an excellent bridge design. One that serves ALL members of the community, no matter what their mode of transportation.

We’re having fun exploring new tools for visualization in architecture. Our work on the new Covington Central Riverfront project was the perfect guinea pig! Check out our Instagram or YouTube Channel for access to some vignettes and if you want the full VR experience reach out!

Who knew the IRS site could be so beautiful? We are so happy with how these conceptual renderings came out. We’re excited to see how the urban fabric actually gets stitched back together.

This project could have a significant impact on the students of Newport Central Catholic. We were excited to help execute the latest master plan and even more excited at the design possibilities of the project.
