The Iris.
Unlike anything else around.
CW Urban had a Salt Lake development opportunity that needed creative design for the rooftop amenities and streetscape, distinct enough to pull residents who want something different from the neighborhood’s other projects. The parti was an iris, petals opening over the plan, and it grew into a level 3 podium with a garden courtyard, outdoor dining, a gaming courtyard and custom cabanas, a rooftop that does what the podium doesn’t, and the street. The brief said Instagram-worthy, so that’s the bar.

The first marks on paper, before the plan settled.




One drawing that puts the whole outdoor program on the table before anything is modelled in 3D.
Every view below is the concept as we drew it, walked before anything was built.

Make the space between the buildings count.
On a mixed-use or multifamily project, the outdoor amenity is the room that leases the building. Bring us in before value engineering gets to it, and we’ll help you protect it.
