This project embodies our love of traditional styles with a modern twist. We designed this multi-family development with the intention of bringing a fresh, refined feel to the up-and-coming Roxborough neighborhood without compromising the area’s beloved historic look. The development’s classic brick facade pays homage to the surrounding architecture, while clean
lines and bold materials also make it a memorable contemporary addition to the neighborhood.

The beautifully integrated result features 50 high-end residential units, full amenities, ground-level parking, and an accessible roof terrace. Sleek gold trimmings accompany the dark brick exterior for a look that’s timeless and elegant, while 10-foot-tall bronze-framed windows add a distinctly modern feel. Inside, each apartment feels well-lit, airy, and spacious. Our innovative use of materials also shines in the inner courtyard, where multicolored metal shingles—reimagined as wall panels—create a stunning graphic facade.

Beside the street level entrance a semi-private sunken courtyard, outfitted  with greenery and open seating, makes for an inviting transition space between the development and surrounding neighborhood—yet another way to experience the best of both worlds.

James has a true pulse on the community at large. He always works his projects as if he has a stake in its success and listens to our true intentions for what is created, not just how.
Chef Al Paris, Paris Bistro
When working with James and his team at M ARCHITECTS, and MORRISSEY has been a pure on-going pleasure. He is a true visionary. I asked for a modern country feel for my Japanese-themed restaurant space and he has hit a home run with his design and layout. James understands the importance of building a relationship with my investors and me to ensure complete satisfaction with clear communication.
