The building looks new. Outside is freshly planted desert landscaping and a handsome midcentury façade; inside is a barrel ceiling with exposed wood trusses and an airy workspace flooded with soft natural light and appointed with Herman Miller chairs. But this is a 62-year-old building at 630 S. 11th St., formerly home to Gamblers Book Shop, that has been completely restored by developer J Dapper for commercial interior design studio Henriksen Butler (hence those Miller chairs). Henriksen Butler CEO David Colling says the move from the longtime Holsum Lofts space was a growth necessity, but also, it’s part of the company’s mission: “[We] find cool buildings that are part of the architectural fabric of the community,” he says. Not coincidentally, HB’s move furthers Dapper’s ongoing drive to renew the area surrounding the Huntridge Theatre. Mission(s) accomplished.
