This contemporary addition to downtown Ann Arbor fills a hole in the urban fabric with a dynamic composition of masonry and glass. The ground level maintains the previous functions on the site to provide parking and a Fifth Avenue entrance to the existing buildings. The new lobby, with atrium, stair and elevator, links the addition to the existing buildings. The second and third floors of the addition offer commercial lease space while a luxurious penthouse residence occupies the fourth floor. Within the historic buildings tenant improvements were made to an established restaurant, new offices were constructed to showcase the developer, and two new condominium units were completed on the second floor.
The penthouse of the Fifth Avenue Building frames urban prospects from a stylish refuge located in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor. A balcony on the front of the building provides a commanding view of the street while the rear deck offers a quiet outdoor sanctuary. The space between flows freely from room to room with thoughtful details around every corner. In the living room cantilevered shelves feature integrated lighting to showcase collectibles, while cherry cabinets conceal the entertainment center on the other side of the granite hearth.
