The Pixel Building | St. Louis, Missouri USA
Architecture
Project Team: Colab Design Practices
Square Footage: 28,000 s.f.
The Pixel Building is an urban infill project that accommodates a developing retail presence in the growing downtown St. Louis neighborhood of Washington Avenue. It allows for maximum client flexibility with its open floorplan and unobstructed views onto the city street. The program for the building is mixed-use, with retail on the first floor and commercial and offices on the upper floors, along with a generous rooftop garden that provides a retreat from impervious surfaces and reduces the heat-island effect, and provides a community garden for the neighboring lofts. The metaphor of “The Pixel” speaks to the diversity of the city, its neighborhood context and the idea that such neighborhoods can blend synergistically into a dynamic urban fabric.
