The Holsinger

Charlottesville, 2004

The Holsinger serves two masters: pedestrians who pass by everyday and the residents who live inside its 16 luxury apartments. The 60,000 sf building stands on a difficult, sloping corner site. Modern in design, it's a good urban neighbor, echoing the massing and proportions of the surrounding historic warehouses. Elevating the parking deck to the second floor made way for six retail spaces at street level. Inside, departing from the loft trend, each apartment is defined by elegantly proportioned rooms laid out to maximize the flow of natural light.
