Reminiscent of midwestern simplicity, the Flat's of Old Powell bring together contemporary living with a sense of small town tradition.
The Studio approached the design of this project to complement the unique character of the downtown district of Powell, Ohio. Taking queues from a Midwestern Vernacular aesthetic while encompassing a bit of a contemporary mindset. The one and two bedroom flats feature views of main street, with private parking garages and garden space in the rear for this midwestern community development. A Commercial building holds the corner transitioning from the downtown district bridging the gap between commercial and residential.
Built on the last development site in the arena district, parks edge offers some of the most stunning views of downtown Columbus.
The Columbus Architectural Studio officially opened its doors on Monday, August 8 at 375 N Front St. in the Arena District. It’s only appropriate as many of the architects at the new firm are responsible for some of the most recognizable structures in the area.
A group of nine architects are breaking away from HOK to start their own firm in Columbus with an emphasis on smaller, local projects.
