Mixed Use Builing, St. Paul, MN. As part of a master plan to revitalize a marginalized landscape in St. Paul’s downtown area, Miloby is designing a building that occupies a full city block. The program includes retail, live/work residential and parking for the adjacent soccer stadium. Employing an organizational strategy defined by the limitations of the parking module, the building is established by a 60’ wide spiraling topology. The rotated form works to create an interior courtyard and deliver daylight to the retail and the parking program. Above the retail and parking levels, the spiral is stretched and lifts up to create a live/work residential ‘tail’ that floats above a rooftop garden. The six block Lafayette Yards project includes works by Coen+Partners, Office dA, GTects, ARO and Thomas Pfeifer.
