MADISON, WI
SCOPE Architectural design and study services for a new, 183,000 sq. ft. housing project
COMPLETION 2022
OWNER Newcomb Construction Company, Inc | 999 Fourier Drive, Suite 102 Madison, WI
The West Edge is a market-rate apartment complex located just outside of Madison, WI in the growing community of Middleton, featuring two four-story buildings with 170 apartments. Amenities include a landscaped courtyard with a swimming pool, tenant grilling areas, a dog park, and an underground parking garage. Located in a business park, the project faced the challenge of creating a unique community and strong design brand to attract residents, while maintaining competitive rents.
The design solution starts at the main entrance, where three triangular apartments and a four-story lit sign featuring a Fender guitar catch the eye. Inside, the Lobby's all-glass façade reveals a rock and roll icon portrait and a metallic blue motorcycle, creating a boutique hotel vibe. This theme continues with bold décor, including a concrete Concierge desk, antique mirrors, and a reconditioned mid-century music console. Each floor features vibrant portraits of music pioneers, and the Community Room resembles a hotel bar with a karaoke stage, games, and vintage posters. The central courtyard includes a swimming pool, party decks, and fire pits, while the Roof Deck offers a chance to live like rock stars. Inspired by the spirit of rock and roll, The West Edge blurs the line between an apartment building and a hip boutique hotel.

COMPLETION 2021
OWNER Sprinkman Real Estate | 613 Williamson Street, Ste 202, Madison, WI. 53703
Located on the site of the former historic The Hotel Washington, West Washington Place is a renovated mixed-use building consisting of 52-luxury apartments ranging from studios to 3-bedroom with 10,000 sq. ft. of commercial space on the first floor.
Nestled between two historic City of Madison landmarks, the design team was challenged with designing a building that seamlessly weaves into the existing fabric of the city. To accomplish this, the exterior integrates the use of brick and stone with classical design elements to be reminiscent of previous buildings on the site. This building is also located on a direct route to the State’s Capitol, so great consideration was taken to ensure the façade appropriately represented the City of Madison.
The interiors wanted are youthful and modern while also playing homage to The Hotel Washington. In the lobby, the distorted design of the carpet echoes elements of classic oriental rugs, while the porcelain tile has a repetitive pattern imitating vintage tin ceilings. Both the carpet and tile create a historic ambiance while remaining modern. A neutral color palette of white, gray, and black was also used to create a clean and fresh environment that emphasizes the modernity of the design.
The building incorporates a variety of amenities for residents including community spaces, two fitness studios, private meeting rooms, a dog wash station, and a rooftop deck with an indoor/outdoor fireplace offering generous views of the State’s Capitol building.
WI
SCOPE Adaptive re-use design and Master Planning for a 49 acre site to include office buildings, retail, apartments, town homes and single family homes.
COMPLETION 2023
ORIGINAL
The adaptive reuse of the existing office building involved several key steps, including a thorough evaluation of the current mechanical systems, conducted to assess their condition and suitability for residential use. Concurrently, market analysis was performed to identify desirable amenities that would enhance the building’s competitiveness. Unit designs were then crafted to accommodate the non-traditional configuration and depth of the structure, taking into account column spacing alignment with unit layouts. Additionally, plans were made to integrate a new mechanical system on each floor and to evaluate the building envelope for the addition of operable windows and balconies. Exterior updates were proposed to imbue the building with a more residential aesthetic, while addressing the challenge of resident parking in a facility lacking indoor parking required innovative design solutions. Finally, preliminary discussions were initiated with the city regarding the acquisition of a conditional use permit to facilitate the transition to residential occupancy.

PEWAUKEE, WI
SCOPE Provide architectural design and master planning for an adaptive re-use housing renovation.

Furthermore, the broader vision for the site includes master planning for two additional multifamily buildings, each accommodating 90 units, to further enhance the residential community’s offerings and contribute to the area’s development.
FORT ATKINSON, WI
SCOPE Provided Master planning and architectural and interior design services.
COMPLETION TBD
As a trusted partner since 1999, the PRA team provided master planning services to convert the older portions of the existing hospital to a Business occupancy, and then relocate off-campus clinical services and office space to reduce operational costs and take advantage of vacant space within the hospital. As part of the implementation, a new cafeteria will be prominently located near the ambulatory services entrance to encourage higher utilization. These interior renovations will include approximately 75,000 square feet of the existing campus. Subsequent phases of work include furniture selection and interior finish replacements in other areas of the hospital.
As with any adaptive re-use study, the existing building poses numerous challenges. In Fort Heathcare’s case, due to narrow floor plates, irregular column sizes and spacing, and restrictive floor to floor heights with low ceilings, these are attributes of the existing building that one has to be concerned with. 3D scanning and modeling were utilized to ensure structural, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing work are coordinated with these constraints.
For the exterior of the building, the building envelope is always of great concern. In this case, the existing brick and old windows will be removed, and then reclad with new brick, insulated metal panels, and new aluminum storefront windows to reduce energy consumption by at least 15%, and provide an updated, modern image that complements the more recent hospital additions.
CEDARBURG, WI
SCOPE Provide architectural design and facility planning for a 300,000 sq. ft. facility.

Improvements included renovating the existing facility, building a 70,000 SF addition. The assessment and recommended improvements and associated costs were reviewed with the Owner and Contractor. Review comments were incorporated in the final master planning report provided to the Owner.

The design of the buildings is contemporary and modern, but blends with the natural surroundings and existing architecture of the area. The buildings are also situated to create a pedestrian-focused, urban experience, with parking located at the rear of the buildings.

State Hwy 05 is a major arterial entering into the town limits of Victoria, MN. Working with Headwaters Development, PRA engaged the municipality, Ridgeview Medical Center, the bank developer, and property owner’s on both sides of the highway to develop programs and concept planning for a multi-family, brew house, Urgent Care, and Memory Care facilities. In addition to maximizing the development potential, PRA highlighted the opportunity to architecturally address both sides of the HWY to create a Gateway into Victoria. The visual connection between projects, framing an entrance to the city, with the addition of a roundabout, worked together to slow traffic as it came into the town limits.
