The Avenue District: Exterior RenderingsThe Avenue District is not just a single building – rather it is a collection of buildings built up over time, creating a lively and diverse neighborhood. Thus, we have several buildings, each with their own style and personality. Some of the buildings are glassy and modern, while others are more classically derived. Yet within that difference, the entire neighborhood becomes unified by employing a commonality of details, quality of building materials, and correct proportions.
The Avenue District’s scope spans three blocks and construction over several phases. These renderings reflect Block One and four phases of construction. Each of these elevations responds to a wide variety of complex conditions with regard to the look and scale of the adjacent properties. For example, the east 12th street elevation responds to the Erieview tower across the street by reaching 10 stories in height and contiues the ‘downtown’ feel of East 12th street. The circular bay on the corner helps to define the important intersection of E 12th and St. Clair.

St. Clair is another important street that requires our buildings to create an urban street condition, but does not need to compete with the importance of that on east 12th.

The East 13th elevation is scaled to fit more with the midrise buildings that make up that streetscape.

The Hamilton Elevation is scaled down all the way to 4 story live/work townhomes that respond appropriately to the scale of the narrow street.
