East Side Gathering Space

This chic East Side apartment complex communal entertainment and gathering space draws residents to the roof for social activities in its private green space.

Landscape Architect: Jeffrey Miller, ASLA, GRP

Location: Milwaukee

Client Need

A residents’ only communal entertainment and gathering space for apartment community.

Inspiration

Urban pocket parks which provide respite on a small ground footprint.

Favorite Element

The collaboration between architect, developer & building representative.

Biggest Challenge

Coordination effort between all (6) trades and (12) suppliers involved.

Proudest Accomplishment

Seeing the residents using and enjoying the space – this is definitely my favorite part of my job. Hearing ‘job well done’ by the developer is always a nice touch.

Tough Moment

Hearing that the sealer on the concrete countertops wasn’t holding up. We eventually prevailed, but a hard lesson was learned.

Fond Memory

Getting complimented on the crew leader, Dwain Bartel, by the developer. It’s a great feeling when the project team has confidence in the people in your organization.
