Unbuilt Architecture

GCA won First Place in the 2015 AIA Milwaukee Emerging Professionals Design Competition, which focused on a vacant building and lot in the heart of Downtown Milwaukee on the RiverWalk. The competition objectives included parking, RiverWalk access, mixed-use, and branding. By retaining the original two-story historic structure and adjusting the residential tower, the new building weaves itself into the existing fabric of dense downtown Milwaukee. The project seeks to provide new residential space and to repair the connections between the city and the riverwalk that are broken or inconsistent in their current condition.
