Multifamily Housing
Lofts at Mayo Park
ARCHITECT: Snow Kreilich Architects
LOCATION: Rochester, Minnesota
PROJECT SIZE: 29 units
Lofts at Mayo Park is a 4-story, multifamily residential project located on the Zumbro River, at the intersection of Rochester’s downtown, Mayo Park, and a residential neighborhood. The project needed to resolve the varied scales of its context and balance these responses with the human scale. The design establishes a strong connection among the building, park, the regional trail system, the river, and downtown. The building’s common spaces, including a lobby and an outdoor patio, are placed adjacent to Mayo Park, providing expansive views.
This connection to place also informs the planning of the dwelling units—more than two-thirds of the units have views of the river and downtown. Lofts at Mayo Park embraces the river as an amenity through its tectonics, planning, and landscape strategies. The project orients itself towards the river and provides multiple options for experiencing and accessing the river.– Snow Kreilich Architects
