Dewberry, a privately held professional services firm, has announced that its conceptual design for a proposed mixed-use development in downtown Cleveland, Ohio’s, Nautica Waterfront District was recently awarded the 2020 Citation Award in the unbuilt category by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Eastern Oklahoma chapter. Award winners were announced during a live presentation held at the Admiral Twin drive-in movie theater in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on November 5, 2020.
Dewberry provided conceptual architectural design services for the proposed development on behalf of developers WIN Capital, LLC, based in Washington, D.C., and Heffner & Weber, based in Maryland. The proposed 120,000-square-foot, mixed-use, multi-block
development features a waterfront boutique hotel, multi-family and urban town house residential space, and the EQUILIBRIUM brand that combines sports, wellness, experiential retail, restaurants and entertainment, as well as co-working and co-living
space.
“When this project was brought to us, we were beyond excited to take on the unique challenge and work with a client who encouraged us to let loose our creative juices and create a concept for a place that would enhance an already great city,”
says Dewberry Director of Design Eric Vogt, AIA, LEED, RA.
The design addresses a lack of modern hospitality and residential infrastructure, while preserving the architectural history of the area. Using dynamic combinations of design elements, the team aimed to reflect the dynamism that the development will bring
to this part of Cleveland.
