To achieve project success in today’s highly competitive and rapidly changing commercial housing and mixed-use and housing market, each project must be approached with a focus on marketing and management as well as creative planning. To achieve this objective, the owner’s participation in the design process is critical.

Our design team knows mixed-use and housing developments, but only those who manage and operate your facilities on a daily basis know every detail of how a new facility will be used. The result is a solution that is strategic, affordable, and comprehensive.

LIBERTY LOFTS

ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN

The adaptive reuse of the historic Eaton Building site, once an industrial assembly plant, involved the transformation of an abandoned building into Liberty Lofts.

The project includes a five-story addition, as well as a renovation to the remaining structures. The shell of the building was restored by replacing the steel sash windows and repairing the cast-in-place concrete frame and brick façade.

The first floor includes an expansive lobby, heated parking, and a state-ofthe-art fitness center. The facility is further designed with unique features that allow flood water to pass through the building without compromising or damaging the structure.

Retaining the façade of the existing building and designing the new construction to complement the preserved historic structure helps maintain the scale and architectural integrity of the existing historic neighborhood.

FORT SHELBY HOTEL

DETROIT, MICHIGAN

The historic Fort Shelby Hotel is composed of a 10-story tower, constructed in 1917 and the 22-story tower addition, completed in 1927. It had been vacant since the 1970s.

Floors one through 10 as well as portions of the basement, house a Doubletree Suites Hotel. The second floor and select areas of the basement contain conference center facilities. The commercial/retail component of the project is composed of a restaurant, café, nightclub, and health club. A commercial grade kitchen accommodates the cooking needs of the commercial and hotel uses. The 11th - 22nd floors are used for residential rental apartments.

Both towers are composed of similar materials for their exteriors but have distinctly different architectural character once they reach the upper levels. All the existing windows were replaced and exterior finishes rehabilitated.
