Quarry Trails Development

South Bank Apartments draws inspiration from Scandinavian “hygge” — shaping a cozy and comfortable place in the wild landscape. The massing of the 40,000 SF is broken down using a series of gables that create smaller communities within the larger structure and make it easy to identify different unit types from the outside. The building includes an Instagram-worthy observation deck overlooking the quarry, plus adventure-oriented storage for residents’ bikes and kayaks. Inside, the outdoor theme was carreid through with moss art pieces, topographic elements, and natural-toned finishes that blur the line between interior and exterior living.

The retail building houses everything the community needs in one efficient package: The Athletic fitness center, the leasing office, and the client’s Bada Bean Bada Booze coffee-to-cocktail concept. The challenging site grading meant one side sits two feet lower than the other, so ramps and stairs connect everything seamlessly. Glass block walls and back-lit signage create interesting interior features, while the fitness space opens directly onto a yoga patio through garage doors. The building’s flat roof and careful massing ensure the apartment residents across the street maintain their quarry views.
