This Project situates itself in a historic residential area on a growing street corridor. This corridor connects the adjacent downtown to the growing South City area and this project is one of the first projects to set the standard for a new layer of growth and design. As a model for the development of this area, this multi-family housing project is an urban infill project that provides a culture that can be absorbed and then released into the community, giving new life and growth to its surroundings.

While understanding this projects responsibility on a larger scale and its relationship to site and context, it also adds a layer of growth and design to a community on the upswing. By providing the seed for the neighborhood to grow, this new project and its users will develop and spread its vigor throughout the area.

Jury Comments: A compositionally dynamic scheme with well integrated relationships between building and site. The building exhibits urban fortitude and acts as a good model for dense residential development.
