AVANTE APARTMENTS
Milwaukee, WI
36 apartment units, 45,000 sf
AVANTE is a thirty-six unit multi-family housing development located on Milwaukee’s east side. Developed by Dermond Property Investments, this project was one of the first developments to significantly enhance the vibrancy of this street.
CONTEXT
Great care was taken to mediate the transition in scale from the surrounding residential homes to this 5-story project. The overall mass of the building was reduced by carving out spaces to create a series of exterior balconies which punctuate the facade. Additionally, the building was set back along the east property line to further reduce the mass, as well as to create a public entry sequence consistent with surrounding context.
TECTONICS
Material transitions and articulation were further employed to break down the scale of facade into smaller geometric fields, providing visual interest and vibrancy.
