ABOUT THE BUILD
The building stands as a gateway joining two communities while further joining lake and city. It stands at the threshold to a revitalizing neighborhood while symbolizing a commitment to the east side community of Madison. The goals were straightforward: design a building that spoke of graceful living enhanced with the beauty of panoramic, park, lake, and syline views. This flat, corner sight mandated that all of the units (15 total) would have expansive views of the above. Accordingly, the design does not have any “back” units. All five units at each level have these vistas.
The masonry construction weaving two complementary brick tones together provided a cadence of vertical piers crowned out with metal hip roofs. The design has prairie roots, taking a cue from the geologically formed prairie landscape to the East.
