deChase Miksis Development was the development partner with the long-time landowner for this prominent property which consisted of 4 older existing rental houses that had fallen into disrepair. deChase was hired to perform a feasibility analysis, coordinate all aspects of design and permitting, arrange for financing and oversee the development to stabilization.
The Andy is a mix of 3-story townhouses and 4-story apartment building that includes a modern design and feels more like an urban loft than a student housing complex. The goal of the project was to create a place where seamless connections and interactions occur between the residents. To achieve this, the main public areas overlook and open onto an interior courtyard. The U-shaped building is oriented to create a south-facing courtyard. This shared outdoor space allows light and air to flow through the site. The articulated exterior is clad in durable, low maintenance materials.
Key features include increased insulation, high-performance glazing, sun shades, and passive cooling. In addition, a series of swales will help mediate stormwater run-off and provide landscaping. With amenities such as private balconies and entrances, skillfully crafted public spaces and daylit units, 18th & Patterson is an example of a high-density infill housing project that serves as a local model for sustainable housing.
