Sarasota, Florida
ARCOS is designed to support Sarasota’s ambitious downtown master plan and the Rosemary District’s redevelopment program. Situated in the region’s core, ARCOS is a key piece of the neighborhood’s emphasis on walkability. The design includes 3,500 sq.ft.
of retail and 8,000 sq.ft. of community amenities, resulting in an expansive, inviting ground floor with the potential to transform into future retail opportunities.
ARCOS makes a bold architectural statement with its contemporary Dutch West Indies style. Chamfered corners provide rhythmic breaks and elegant massing, promoting a pedestrian-friendly urbanist quality. Inside, ARCOS draws inspiration from classic hotels and voluminous train stations, with a grand, nostalgic atmosphere and an on-site art gallery showcasing international and local artists.
St Petersburg, Florida
930 Central Flats is an urban luxury mixed-use community that feels fresh and exciting, complementing the surrounding historic Edge District. The project is a true Live, Work, & Play community, combining apartments and townhouse units with dedicated outdoor social spaces, a yoga mezzanine, a South Beach inspired pool with surrounding sun decks, and over 3,500 sf of ground level retail, dining, and entertainment.
The stylish mid-rise project in St. Petersburg, Florida is designed to meet exacting city standards, and was required to pass a multi-step architectural review procedure. The collaborative process between our design team, Client, and the city resulted in creative and refreshing architecture, and as such, 930 Central Flats was honored with the 2019 SEBC Silver Aurora Award for Best Mixed-Use Project.
ROBUST GARDENS GROW FROM HEALTHY ROOTS.
Tampa, Florida
As part of Tampa’s historic Ybor City district, the architectural vocabulary at the Ybor Lofts reinterprets nearby buildings and materials with a modern eye. Blond and red brick, stucco, wrought iron balconies, and distinctive street lighting are all represented in the design, successfully integrating the building within the neighborhood. Inside, the community features striking high-end finishes and modern conveniences expected from today’s luxury apartments.
Our density goal is achieved through creative problem-solving. A single building would have exceeded the allowable square footage, so the structure is split
into two buildings separated by a two-hour fire wall, resulting in a valuable and lucrative property. By adding vitality to its surroundings, the Ybor Lofts shines as an example of modern urban luxury, with easy walkability to local restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
