Under Construction & Completed Projects
Chapter at Madison
Park & Regent Street, Madison, Wisconsin
The project includes 172 units, 3,000 square feet of neighborhoodoriented commercial space, underground parking, bike storage, and a 1,500 square foot outdoor amenity space on the ninth floor. Chapter at Madison, occupies a critical part of the South Campus Plan in Madison. The ten-story project integrates into the existing urban environment and further strengthened the business corridor.
The design of the project is consistent with the guidelines of the Regent Street – South Campus Neighborhood Plan and furthermore recognizes the need to create a sense of enclosure and urban space in order to strengthen the business corridor along Regent and to act as an entrance to the campus from the south along Park Street. The site sits along both major vehicular and pedestrian paths, and the project highlights the unified streetscape sought in the Regent Street – South Campus Plan with the use of the stepback and setbacks and by the critical introduction of vertical breaks and an undulating rhythm which enhance the neighborhood and human scale of the project. The approach to detailing is rooted in tradition but expresses the pedestrian scale along Regent Street with texture and warmth. The architecture clearly expresses a base, middle, and top but does so with a contemporary and forward-looking vocabulary, speaking to the new vernacular of Madison.
Chapter at Eugene
University of Oregon
Located at 754 E. 13th Ave., Chapter at Eugene offers a mix of studio, two-, three-, four- and five-bedroom apartments, with pre-leasing expected to begin in early fall 2023.
