Astikos Lofts is a two building apartment community located in the heart of Tigard between a future pedestrian thoroughfare and an extensive wetland area. Careful attention was paid to minimizing the community’s impact on the wetlands, and additional efforts were made to restore and protect them for future generations. Being along a future pedestrian route, it was important for the apartment building design to activate the street. A continuous structural system with built-in benches, wood screens, living walls and display kiosks for community art add interest to the streetscape.
