Rosa Parks Apartments / Landon Bone Baker Architects

Out in the Chicago area, the new Rosa Parks Apartments, located in the West Humboldt Park neighborhood.

All of the buildings are built of 8” thick precast concrete walls with engineering wood trusses at floors and roof. Thin brick is cast into the precast at the street facades. At the sides and rear of the buildings the precast was formed with a brick pattern liner and painted. 6 of the 8 buildings are 3 stories tall, and the remaining 2 are 4-story elevator buildings. 20% of the apartments provided are fully accessible or adaptable.-ArchDaily
