This urban infill mixed-use project in The Washington

Street Historic District in South Norwalk, Connecticut,
has played a critical role in stabilizing a neighborhood
in decline. The program included 108 rental apartments,
amenities for those apartments, and 18,000
sqft of office, retail and restaurant space. The project
provided enhanced connectivity between the historic
district that had been created and revitalized in 1983,
and the Maritime Aquarium that had been built as another
component of an urban revitalization project at
that time. A 230 space precast parking structure is
hidden from public view.

The place-making aspect of this project has succeeded
in offering a reason to visit this district that had been
trending downward. On the ground level restaurants,
a juice bar and a yoga studio open to a courtyard that
has become a vital new place in the community. The
Architecture of the courtyard echoes the scale and
character of the historic district. The fountain crafted
from recycled granite is a central feature of the courtyard,
and a center of activity. The place is full of life,
and the goal of endowing it with energy is being realized.
