Face Lift
The new owner of this multi-family apartment complex was seeking to revitalize and modernize the aesthetics of the structure built in the 60’s. We provided some quick options of color and material changes for the owner to provide a sense of how the structure would look with material upgrades. By cladding the front façade in a fiber cement rain screen with a warm wood texture, adding some fresh paint and a green wall the building was transformed visually into a contemporary structure. The entry was also updated from a gated entry to a covered storefront entrance providing a central location for mail and a waiting area. A pop of color at the residential unit entries added a fresh accent to the units.
