Collaboration

The existing site posed significant challenges. Through weekly programming and design meetings, the team was able to overcome them and create a balanced design that positioned the building to be justified with the adjacent street and activate the streetscape.

Result

Designed to revitalize this New London waterfront neighborhood, The Beam reimagines underutilized acreage with new fully accessible and vibrant housing that provides desirable homes for young professionals and families and is stimulating retail, restaurant, and business development.
