What if we detached our typical brick sills and headers from window openings altogether?

This was the question that drove the brief and addressed persistent detailing challenges seen in previous brick-clad developments. It led to a formal approach where a serpentine, fluid wooden interior form is encased within a rigid brick grid.

The site once housed the Connon Floral Co., the first greenhouse and wholesale florist company in the St. Louis area. Their greenhouses used the adjacent rail line to distribute flowers throughout the city — that same rail corridor sparked early neighborhood growth. The building honors this history through a refined utilitarian aesthetic and quiet references to movement and flow.

Each condominium unit includes two private outdoor spaces: a primary terrace and a secondary coffee nook. This dual access to the outdoors is uncommon at this price point and was prioritized to support resident comfort and wellness.

Construction is progressing at the Aria Residences in Kirkwood, MO. The structure is built out and is now being clad in a gradient brick facade. The building’s key elements are coming together — windows installed, balconies framed — all above the concrete podium that forms the ground-level public plaza. The plaza is positioned to align with the linear entry stair at the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center to the east, connecting the two at street level. Inside, the framing is beginning to reveal how open and well-lit the units will be.
