The Ivy Residences at Health Village stands as a vital urban infill apartment community catering to Orlando’s population of diverse professionals. The Ivy is situated within the Health Village Transit-Oriented Development, where many residents work only a short walk from their doorsteps.
The site runs parallel to Interstate 4 and straddles two city blocks, bisected by a small street. The Ivy is comprised of two structures connected by a pedestrian bridge, thoughtfully placed at the rear of the property to preserve the open ambiance while shielding the interstate from view.
Since the Ivy was among the first contemporary structures in the Health Village TOD, the architectural aesthetic appeal was particularly important to its established neighbors. Featuring a blend of contemporary and traditional elements, the design sensibility artfully juxtaposes recognizable materials with vibrant colors to attract urban residents while showing respect to the neighborhood’s history. The Ivy Residences was awarded the Golden Brick Award for Best in Residential from the Downtown Orlando Partnership.
