City View Lofts

As with many mod­ern-day projects, park­ing pre­sent­ed a unique chal­lenge to this high­er den­si­ty low-rise build­ing. A sig­nif­i­cant slope to the site pro­vid­ed an oppor­tu­ni­ty for an under­ground park­ing deck for 25 con­do units in the heart of the Gar­den Dis­trict. The park­ing deck cre­ates a “table­top” for the loft units to sit on. Mul­ti­ple lay­ers of mason­ry detail and col­or help anchor the pri­ma­ry street ele­va­tion on an active, promi­nent edge of First Ward. Addi­tion­al mate­ri­als include smooth fiber cement pan­el and trim with col­or­ful steel rail­ings and accent ele­ments. The units vary in size from 650–850sf. The open plans are fur­ther accen­tu­at­ed by 10-foot ceil­ings and expan­sive win­dows.
