One Year Later

One year -to the day, The Citadel Music Center is open for business. Students of all ages marvel at the transformation and are welcomed into their new studio spaces. The vibe is at once warm, unique, eclectic, and unmistakably artistic.

The Greening of (an) American (Roof)

While a carpet of sedum grows in a West Michigan nursery, our walk-out roof top deck is gradually transformed. The drought-resistent succulent plant is pregrown over several months and will be delivered in 2ft x 4ft modules in mid July. The roof will be fully vegetated within 6 hours of receipt and will create a magical greenspace for our residents to enjoy. A first in Benton Harbor, the LifeRoof system will minimize water run-off, conserve heat in the winter and moderate the ambient summer temperatures of the common patio space. Cocktails, anyone?

Un-common Spaces

The Quarternote Lofts exhibit several common areas that are sure to please. Featured here, what will become a shared roof-top deck and green space.

To the right, looking down from above on a portion of the roof deck. When complete, most of this roof surface will be a green LiveRoof.

In the distance you can catch a glimpse of the Harbor Shores golf practice facility. Above, left, a view from the deck looking down the C&O Railroad Tracks. I think I hear Woodie Guthrie off in the distance...
