5225 Maple Avenue is a high denisty new urbanism project on the outskirts of downtown Dallas. The site is a previous industralized zoning area reclaimed as an "urban infill" residential community. This project became the leader for the community, sparking more residenital development in the area. BGO Architects experimented with a combination of "soft loft" and "hard loft" finishes to expend the market diversity of tennants for the owners.
This project included three out of five construction types, including TYPE I cast in place post tension slab parking garage, TYPE II steel tower, and TYPE V wood framed apartments. The configuration of building separations and allowable areas became an example template for many other podium framed, new urbanism projects at BGO.
This project was published years later in City by Design: An Architectural Perspective of Dallas. Please see Awards & Publications category for more information.
