    You’ll love these beautiful lofts in the Crossroads! This former Kansas City Star building was transformed into stylish and comfortable lofts in the center of Kansas City. Just 2 blocks away from the Streetcar, you can be exploring the city in minutes.

    Corian countertops, washer and dryer in unit, and beautiful Edison lightbulb fixtures all make these apartments an attractive option for living in Kansas City. On the fourth and fifth floors, you can enjoy the beautiful city views from your balcony!

    Terrace on Walnut is an integration of old and new, art and architecture, pedestrian and city. The integration is the result of an adaptive reuse project, transforming a 100-foot blank façade into an active multi-family residential project.

    The original building was a three-level paper storage and press for the Kansas City Star newspaper. It’s a stout cast concrete frame structure that was brick clad with thin ribbon windows above eye level. The program was to convert the building into 38 residential units both within the existing structure and adding two floors of new construction.

    The design weaves together the new and existing geometries with materials that represent their function – medium grey metal panel signifies the frame of new construction, anodized aluminum identifies the living unit divisions and concrete structure cladding, and existing brick is painted a dark grey to ground the building.
