Text description provided by architect.
This five-story, 45,000 sf historic district mixed-use project offers retail, twenty residential units, and a penthouse office.
Proportioned to accord with its surroundings, the building offers calculated departures from the traditional.
Material and massing articulate the program. The palette is simple: dark brick, clear glass, anodized aluminum, and weathering steel.
The circulation spine’s glazed wall connects steel-clad egress towers to the brick residential block raised above the retail floor. The penthouse, a glazed white beacon, completes the ensemble.
At the street level, expansive windows connect passers-by to 6,000 sf of commercial space. Recessed tenant entries to the east and west provide privacy and cover.
Above, residential units share a layout concept in which the kitchen, which is centered on the living space, parallels the exterior wall and shares a plumbing wall with a primary bathroom.
Level four boasts projecting glass and steel balconies as well as an outdoor commons space – available to all tenants—that offers westward views of the skyline.
On level five, the penthouse workplace doubles as an occasional social gathering venue.
A linear service core provides programmatic flexibility.
Three fully-glazed fritted exterior walls take advantage of downtown views and open to a perimeter roof terrace.
