Gateway Lofts

A mixed-use mas­ter plan offer­ing res­i­den­tial oppor­tu­ni­ties emerged as a result of the dra­mat­ic office expan­sion require­ments of a major bank. This served to rad­i­cal­ly trans­form and revi­tal­ize a blight­ed sec­tion of the city. The infill res­i­den­tial solu­tion for this nar­row site screened an 8‑level park­ing deck and addressed the street with ground lev­el retail. The mul­ti-lev­el loft units above range in size from 800–1400sf. Each unit is com­posed of stained con­crete floors, exposed load bear­ing brick walls and steel stairs that lead to a sleep­ing loft. The pent­house units have sky lit stu­dio spaces, open plans and dra­mat­ic sky­line views through expan­sive win­dow walls.
