From the Architect
"The architecture is rendered in a lively, polychromatic, art deco style. The primarily brick material pallet and art deco style serves to both form a relationship to the existing Alexandrian building fabric and contemporary and fresh enough to attract a youthful market. The style can deliver large expanses of glass for the individual units, greatly enhancing the quality of life for the residents."
Abed Benzina, Architect
Interior Design
"Buildings 1 and 2 feature a nod to Art Deco with grey, black, and bronze accented by warm wood walls and jewel tones. Buildings 3 and 4 take their cue from industrial chic with brick accent walls, weathered wood floors and decorative tile accents."
Danielle Fox, Interior Designer
The Artwork at Platform
"When I imagined this sculpture, I wanted to give people the special feeling of finding stillness at the center of activity. When the sculpture started coming together, I realized the effect is as much acoustical as it is visual. Stand in the center of Roundel and you find that the encircling panels block some of the outside sound and bounce your own voice back to you." Joe O'Connell, Artist
