This Edgewater remodel converts a shadowy auto shop into the bright, light-filled Dave Jordano Photography studio.

The finished building has a facade updated with simple but striking corten metal panels, interior parking space for two cars at the front, a tidy bathroom and kitchen area, a live/work hang out space at the rear that opens onto a private alley-side patio, and a spacious photo storage and work space in the new loft above.
