Good Design

Ever go into a building and you hear that little voice? The one that says “This is only going to get better.” That’s the feeling I had when I arrived at 1320 North Detroit Ave. designed by Predock_Frane Architects. This space was an exciting experience. From what I can remember, I was intrigued by the front facade, but as soon as I hit the courtyard, I just took off! I could practically taste the shots. I opened my eyes just a little wider and climbed up and down the steel staircases floating above the bamboo garden. With the vision of a dusk shot from the street already gathered, and about 10 angles in the courtyard that hit me instantly, I moved on to the interiors. With natural light flowing through and connecting every space, open walls, and skylights looking down on me, I wasn’t disappointed. Well done Predock_Frane!
