THE STORY

Design solutions for a lifestyle anchored more by continuous, multi-faceted connectivity than by the desire for signature individual space. Highly paid and highly educated, targeted renters will eventually buy their own home; for now, they seek low maintenance, lock and leave convenience and versatile gathering spaces.

  • Podium design places 4 stories of residential over 2 levels devoted to parking and community amenities.
     

  • Strong, straightforward building geometry is decidedly urban. Gaining interest with mixed materials, saturated colors and asymmetrical window patterns, it makes a contemporary statement with European flair.
     

  • Terraced landscaping plazas punctuate the mass, animating street frontage as they protect and enrich three focal, flexible commons. These sub-dividable community spaces serve diversely sized groups and varied recreational, social and business functions.
     

  • Compact units deliver upscale design, with the focus on convenience and functionality for 1 or 2 occupants. Large windows orient to courtyards, providing an instant read on what’s happening with the group. 
     

  • Convenience to work centers, a major regional mall, hospital, walking trail and more urban services add important location advantages to lifestyle design value.
