Densified Housing on a Walkable Street

Description

At the intersection of 7th and Cass Street—within walking distance of a burgeoning downtown—the proposed 7th Street Apartments are designed as a site-specific addition to the La Crosse housing stock. Adjacent to a significant intersection, the site is part of a gateway to downtown, and is an important transitional link between urban businesses and established neighborhoods; Presently, the site is severely underutilized in this regard. Designed to its fuller potential, the site can negotiate the vitality of downtown and the tranquility of neighborhoods, striking an architectural balance between the two. This project is poised to do that, providing a much-needed housing option for young families, individuals with disabilities, and the growing numbers of people who wish to live close to downtown La Crosse.
