The Fowler

Modern, multi-story building with a dark facade located on a street corner at dusk. Few people are visible; no notable landmarks or historical buildings.

This seven-story housing project utilizing a concrete shear wall podium and wood framing (5 over 2). Two levels of parking, 159 live-work units and retail will be combined into the first two levels of post tension concrete. This early to market mid-rise apartment project with an integrated parking podium was a challenge. Early concrete packages were permitted to help expedite and allow the design team to focus on the apartment mix and layouts overall. With large geometric cantilevers at the podium and the curved building exterior, the post tension design was critical to allowing this architectural form.
