By Fall 2008, renovations for three buildings on East Armour Boulevard in Kansas City, Mo. will be complete thanks to Straub Construction, Rosemann and The Eagle Point Companies."This project proves affordable housing can have quality design," says Donald Rosemann, NCARB, AIA, DBIA. "Residents and visitors of the apartments are welcomed by an unexpected, hotel lobby like experience."
Focusing on the three buildings' existing identity, the design team used Georgian Court's southern features, Linda Vista's Spanish motif and Bainbridge's Frend inspired surroundings to create custom palettes appropriate for each worldly design.
"The Georgian Court is southern traditional with Williamsburg blue tones, crown molding, fluted columns and oriental rugs," says Director of Interior Design Vickie Stewart, ASID, IIDA. "For Linda Vista, we wanted an old world feeling with deep, warm colors, textured walls, winged leather chairs close to the fireplace and antique corbels in the ceiling with gold leaf highlights."
With Rosemann providing both architecture and interior design, the East Armour Apartments were recently chosen as an honoree for the 2008 Kansas City Business Journal's Capstone Award.
