The Ellington, MI
WM Ellington LLC Representing the second phase of construction for this 4-1/2 acre, mixed-use, Planned Development, The Ellington is a five-story, loft style, residential condominium building. The first phase included a six-story, 1000 car, parking structure that serves both the development and surrounding neighborhood. Anchoring the corner frontage along historic Woodward Avenue in Detroit’s Cultural Arts District, the 300 ft. long building exterior is divided into three masonry volumes, linked together with metal panel clad bridges that span over vehicular and pedestrian passageways. Large, floor to ceiling windows punctuate the masonry walls, filling the interior spaces with light and providing access to balconies. The building corners feature large, wrap-around, balconies to take advantage of the unobstructed views to Detroit’s downtown. In keeping with the loft aesthetic, the dwelling units feature an open floor plan with 10 ft. ceilings, exposed precast concrete ceilings, track lighting and spiral ductwork. |
