This recently completed, private, 2-Story office building located in the historic neighborhood of Hyde Park, in Tampa, Florida, blends harmoniously with the mixed-use storefronts of the Hyde Park Village commercial district and the surrounding 1920’s historic residences. The subtle, prairie style design cues pay homage to several homes found in the area and help to create a tasteful and elegant transitional style between the adjacent residential and commercial properties. A few individuals have told our client that “the building looks like it has always been here”; which is music to our ears.
The building features 48” roof overhangs; a deep, continuous precast concrete shade element; manufactured stone “brick”; smooth steel trowel stucco; operable casement windows in antique bronze; decorative and intricate precast panels over the front and rear entrances; precast stone bands and details; custom gutter system with stainless steel rain chains; stainless steel gas lanterns; FLW Society planters; and window muntin “tree” patterns which are also replicated in many of the custom fencing details.
Of course, none of this would be possible without a client with a strong vision and a strong commitment to build something that was 4 years in the making. The overarching goal was always to create a high-quality, legacy project, that would be welcomed by the community and enhance the architectural and urban fabric of the neighborhood with subtlety and grace. Pride of Place.
