Submission Spotlight:? ? ECKHARDT LOFTS AND ACADEMY? ? Eckhardt Lofts and Academy entails the historic renovation and reuse of the three-story former Eckhart Department Store located in the Broadway-Fillmore Historic District in Buffalo, NY. The project restores this long neglected and abandoned historic building with an 12,000 sf ground floor no-cost early education Head Start program, 28 affordable housing units, as well as infrastructure for a future indoor farm operation which will cultivate fresh local produce. Gated on-site parking and playground facilities will support the Head Start function, with a rain garden working to reduce storm water runoff. These improvements, along with upgraded exterior envelope, windows, lighting and signage will restore the Eckhardt building to the community cornerstone it once was.? ? @elev8_architecture?

Submission Spotlight:? ? MILLRACE AT PROVO STATION? ? The City of Provo has traditionally lived in the shadows of Salt Lake City and wanted a landmark structure to change the perception of the once of the city. The project site became the focal point of the city to create a proper gateway into Provo. Working closely with city administration and local residents, zoning limitations were amended and a new vision for the city was created that required a substantial structure be erected. The site is a true multimodal hub with commuter rail, heavy rail, rapid transit, bike, pedestrian, vehicular and future manned drone and delivery drone landing zones. ? ? Inspired by the Mountain canyons of the Wasatch Front, Millrace at Provo Station emulates the unique geometry found in the rock outcroppings that line the canyon walls. Communal spaces are primarily located on the upper floors of Millrace symbolizing the numerous resorts and countless outdoor activities that draw valley floor residents to the higher elevations of the mountains. Seeking to redefine the typology of what multifamily housing should be, Millrace goes beyond the standard considerations of amenities, rather it focuses on the betterment of the modern living experience, connecting to the senses and rejuvenating the mind, body and soul.? ? @elev8_architecture? ? ??#aiabuffalowny #aiadesignawards2024 #design #aiabuffalownydesignawards #architecture #buffalo #westernny?
