The Pearl.
Two rooftops, three floors apart.
Two decks on one mixed-use block on Pearl Street in Fort Wayne: a level 3 podium and a level 6 rooftop. The concept ran three rounds, from a charrette sketch on trace to a rooftop lounge, outdoor dining, a fire pit and a grilling lounge, with a sport court mural, angular planters and a rooftop dog park along the way. It’s all concept here: first-pass renders and plans, not photographs.

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.
