Park View Apartments

Double duty was an easy task for The Stand Corporation as their dual role as both general contractor and installer proved to be one of the best. One of the many features the architect appreciated regarding Ludowici’s NeXclad product; the versatility and variety of qualified trades who can install it.

The Park View Apartments project earned Jack Ryan Architect the 2023 AIA Honor Award for Architecture of Rehabilitation. Focused on the preservation and rehabilitation of the existing and new construction building, Jack Ryan chose the Ludowici NeXclad True profile. Moreover, the NeXclad small format cladding product fit the needs of the specification as a natural product manufactured in the U.S. with a 75-year standard manufacturer’s warranty.

The existing structure was the former first home of The Miriam Hospital.  Now, the existing structure had a new purpose which includes multifamily living with the new construction addition.  Jack focused on a lot of important details including special attention to coursing, outside corners and window openings.

NeXclad was chosen as a contemporary terra-cotta compliment to the existing historic brick building which is now attached to the new construction building.  No ceramic glazes or colors were added. The natural clay red body is prominently featured as a bold façade with a more modern twist complimenting the original classic architecture.
