Final model montage

Indiana avenue has long been in need of an uplift.  Once a thriving cultural node, it now lies baron in a sea of parking lots.  The need for new housing in Indianapolis has risen recently and an influx of residents in this area provides a potential for revitalization of Indiana avenue.

The proposed housing addition provides forty five new units at varying square footages.  The single loaded structure offers each unit with a south facing balcony overlooking downtown.  Each balcony has moveable wood slat screens providing shading options throughout the day and season.  The smaller square foot units have a glass enclosed shell on the balcony to allow the interior to be opened to the balcony providing extra square footage when desired.
