Anthem House is a new 520,000-square-foot, mixed-use residential development in Huntsville, Alabama. The development includes 330 dwelling units atop a multi-level office and amenity base, with ground floor commercial retail.

A 7 level parking garage structure is also included within the development. This tiered building massing of brick masonry, stone and metal panels reinforces the district’s focus on creating a new walkable, live-work-play community. Compact dwelling units in studio, studio plus and 1 bedroom layouts permit opportunities to both live an work on premise, coupled with extraordinary indoor and outdoor ground floor amenity facilities within extensive flowers, trees, swimming and leisure settings. An east-west pedestrian Paseo through the project at grade level connects adjacent hotel and retail guests to the project.

RCP Companies, as project developer, anticipates a June 2022 commencement of construction. The building incorporates both natural and mechanical ventilation strategies to optimize systems efficiencies and maintain low energy consumption. The building design also explores modular unit planning with repetitive interior and exterior components, fostering construction schedule and materials cost savings.

green tower, frankfurt
The Green Tower Frankfurt is a 330,500-square-foot, 52 story residential development with private developer and owner BÜRO WEBER for the city of Frankfurt, Germany. Envisioned as a new paradigm for environmental leadership in high-rise residential and vertical garden living, Green Tower Frankfurt implements strict building systems design that will be the first to achieve both the rigorous Passivhaus Classic and Passivhaus Plus standard in residential high-rise design. Green Tower Frankfurt utilizes state of the art mechanical controls combined with natural ventilation and integrated four-sided planted garden terraces for every resident. The second tower of several planned locations in Europe, Asia and the Middle-East, Green Tower Frankfurt aims to prototype a vertical building typology that reinforces living within the central city core, use of existing mass transportation and the physical and spiritual greening of place. Developed using parametric design, the unique twisting chassis employs a vertical concrete core and a staggered perimeter column grid that counterbalance four corner columns that transpose diagonally end to end. Four-sided symmetrical planning principles deliver repetitive exterior wall, structural and mechanical components, fostering construction schedule and materials cost savings.

740 N RUSH STREET CHICAGO
Todd Halamka + Partners was commissioned to design a new 50 story tower at the corner of Rush and Ontario streets in Chicago. A vertically stacked three tier high-rise hotel including a high-end boutique brand is planned for the site.
An existing four story masonry structure along Rush is to remain for restaurant, retail and new hotel functions. The hotel tower purposefully sets back from both Rush and Ontario streets to maintain a pedestrian street scale, optimize hotel room views and maximize light and air to the adjacent neighboring buildings.
Massing and materials introduce a light and elegant blend of glass, metal and stone at the street and a carefully proportioned and detailed glazed tower above. Extensive planted roof gardens are planned at three separate levels to integrate with interior program, street level plantings, and environmental stewardship to the neighborhood.
