Four rooftops, each its own place.

Each rooftop deck is its own: firepits, grills and lounge seating, all of it facing the Salt Lake Valley and the Wasatch. Four decks. Four different reasons to head upstairs.

Not a block, a district.

The district design plan, rendered by Wenk Associates: a district across roughly thirteen acres, stitched together by landscaped living streets and anchored by podium courtyards. Our part? The podium.

The podium is the district’s social floor: the amenity decks and pools that carry the daily life of the place.

01 · The Brief

From the block you drove around to the address developers fly in to study.

This stretch of downtown Salt Lake City was somewhere you drove past. You didn’t stop. Lowe Property Group saw something else: a whole district, good enough that other developers would fly in to see how it was done.

That set the bar for us. Multiple buildings, each with a rooftop of its own, landscaped living streets between them, and podium courtyards with pools that had to work in January as well as July. Our scope was the podium: the amenity decks and pools that sit over the structure. That was the part that had to land.

The intent

One idea repeated four times is a complex. Four rooftops with their own character is a district.

The vision · design renderingThe vision · design rendering
The living streets, as drawn.

A design rendering of the mid-block living streets, the woonerf idea before it was built: bench-planters, street trees and a shared, car-light path between the buildings. Everything after this frame is the place as it stands today.

The rooftop firepit decks · the signature amenityThe rooftop firepit decks · the signature amenity
Firepits, an outdoor bar, and the whole valley.

Up here the valley does the talking. Firepits pull people in as the light drops, the outdoor bar and grills keep them there, and the Wasatch runs the whole length of the view. More than one way to spend an evening outside, on every one of the four decks.

The amenities at Post District Residences create a community within the development.

Walk the district

Down at street level it keeps going. Landscaped living streets between the buildings, resort-style pools, firepit lawns, cabanas and grills. You don’t have to go upstairs to find somewhere to be.

02 · The Podium Pools

Two courtyards, built for every season.

Both podium courtyards are built around pools that don’t take winter off. Hinged canopy doors swing open in the warm months and close the water in when winter shows up, so they’re year-round amenities, not three-month ones.

One deck adds a convertible infinity spa. The program runs from a quiet, park-like courtyard to a full resort-style pool scene, which is exactly why the podium reads as the district’s social floor and not a leftover between buildings.
