Woodward Junction

Detroit, MI

Full block development & urban design

 

Woodward Junction is a proposed mixed-use development project in downtown Detroit, providing office, housing, retail, a rooftop school & playground, and an Arts Center in a park. The focus of the design is at the pedestrian level, where bold gestures are concentrated along with strategies to enhance the pedestrian experience.

​

The sculptural Arts Center creates unusual and dynamic forms & spaces with the use of a singular shape - the cylinder. The building components interact spatially with the park to produce ever-changing relationships between user, park, and structure. These are offset by the quieter natures of the office, retail and housing structures, creating rich contrasts in the urban setting.
