    199 S. Fifth Street Condominiums

    This project started with a vacant office building from the 1970s on the fringe of downtown. The challenge to the architect was simple: to convert this Brutalist office building into contemporary luxury residences.

    Urban living was a pivotal idea and in keeping with that we introduced private outdoor spaces to all residents in addition to a common area on the roof deck. The cantilevered balconies extended 12 feet from the building facade which allowed the units to expand beyond the confines of the shell.

    The overall effect of the building was total transformation. From the bronze curtain wall office building that was internal in nature, came a collection of residences that had clear glass and balconies opening up the building to it's neighbors.

    The strength of this adaptive reuse project was in its integration of the existing conditions with new elements and contributing to the revitalization effort for downtown Columbus.

    Smith & High

    This urban infill project is located on High street at the transition between the Ohio State University campus to the north and the vibrant Short North arts district to the south.

    It fell under the guidelines for the University Area Neighborhood Committee, and had to follow their guidelines.

    The client, a savvy developer specializing in urban redevelopment projects in downtown Columbus, was well aware of the restrictions, and interested in developing the site accordingly.

    Summit Street Student Housing

    The Summit was a 20-unit apartment complex based upon a modified townhouse concept. The units are grouped into four buildings on site and two of these create a residential scaled courtyard shared by 11 units.

    The typical units feature a 3-car lower level garage with two levels of living space housing three to four bedrooms. The exterior materials are contemporary but the details and proportions relate to the existing residential neighborhood making this project a great addition to student housing near The Ohio State University.

    Carlyles Watch

    Located at a prominent intersection in Columbus, the project included the demolition of a blighted structure and the construction of an 8-story condominium that complimented and enhanced the urban fabric.

    The 71,000 sf. building featured 64 residential units, a rooftop terrace, an enclosed automated stacked parking system and a street front retail area.

    The superstructure was framed entirely out of light gauge steel stud bearing walls and floor joists. This structural system streamlined the construction schedule and cost by minimizing required structural steel framing. The roof included a rooftop party terrace with rooftop lobby space.

    The project responded to the existing fabric by synthesizing and responding to various site specific factors. As a catalyst to encourage downtown living and development, the project was a valuable addition to the urban fabric.

    Custom Residential

    This is a selection of custom residential projects that we have completed over the last several years.

    They range from a house on a farm, a penthouse loft in downtown to an addition to a house in a historic district. The success of these projects lies in the fact that each one reflects the personality and lifestyle of the client, and is truly unique in that respect.

    The challenge in residential design is to understand the needs and aspirations of the client, and to deliver beyond their expectations, in a truly collaborative relationship.

    The Province at The University of Louisville

    Developed as a multi-phased student housing development, the first phase of the project consists of 11 buildings with 858 beds making up approximately 400,000 sf of residential buildings.

    To improve access to the University of Louisville campus, an 86 foot long pedestrian bridge was designed to span the existing railway tracks adjacent to the housing complex. This facilitated the pedestrian flow of students to and from the campus to the housing.
