NxNW is an eco-friendly Student Housing project within walking distance to Florida State University. The community’s 219 units and 679 beds make it a valuable component of the surrounding urban fabric. It was very important that the scale and placement of the buildings were respectful and fit into the neighborhood’s architectural character and lifestyle atmosphere.

Adhering to the city’s urban planning criteria was crucial, and locating the buildings along the perimeter of Basin Street was a key part of the project’s success. Incorporating an existing 15 to 25-foot deep retention pond into the master plan was another challenge, with the goal of integrating it as a positive quality for the community. With careful planning and thoughtful detail, it was transformed into a 1.6-acre water feature. Thanks to the close collaboration between our design team and the owner and contractors, NxNW earned the National Green Building Standard Bronze certification for creating an eco-friendly community.
