With a project portfolio ranging from private residences to multi-tenant housing, house5 inc. has been critical to the success through the building process of a variety of projects. Offering full-service ground-up construction we work with architects/owners to maintain the project stays on budget and schedule. A key to every project we take on is maintaining open communication between all parties involved, with a strong belief in building relationships that last past the length of the project. We value the relationships we have built with trade and supplier resources and bring a collection of successful individuals into the undertaking of any new project.
HEDGE is a 55+ apartment complex that reconsiders the typically modest seniors' housing typology as an opportunity for architectural richness. The four-storey project consists of 48 apartments distributed between two buildings that together frame and preserve a mature stand of cottonwoods. The building's circulation scheme and the landscape intertwine so that experiencing the well-treed courtyard becomes an integral part of everyday life.Starting from the ground floor and continuing upwards to the roof terrace, a gently sloping promenade moves from interior to exterior and back again, forming a continuous walkway that weaves the buildings together and bridges the half storey height differential separating them. The boardwalk serves a pragmatic role by providing access to common exit stairs for both buildings, and also offers a recreational amenity for residents - a means to take a daily stroll through the trees.The building is clad in corrugated corten steel, with added depth provided by a mesh screen that spans vertically between eight inch deep flashing angles, creating space where planters can be placed.
