Allies of Pio Nono (2014)
Macon, Georgia, U.S.A.
Residential
Allies of Pio Nono is a four-story apartment complex that sits along Pio Nono Avenue and on the southeast side intersection of Montpelier Avenue. My goal on this was to make new style apartments in neighborhoods that are abandoned or not well supported. The Studio/1/2 Bedroom apartment also has a courtyard that's 3/4 way surrounded by Building B. There is a pool park behind Building A which is where the front desk lobby and office is as well. There is also a fitness room and also a game room. I used blue and mostly cool colors in this design because I preferred to make the image pop out to those who see it. If this were really to be built, The plan would be to demolish the declining neighborhood that's currently residing on the lot, and make a level terrain. Then, Rise the allies onto the horizon.
This is also the first rendering I used with Twilight Rendering, A new software that I used with SketchUp. The shadowing is more visual and the lighting is more easy to tell.
This is the courtyard(surrounded by Building B). The courtyard apartments have balconies that stand over the ground.
This is the pool park behind Building A. The park is gated and also half-way routed by lighting. The pool is circular and at night, it lights up.
The reason of this apartment being called 'The Allies' is because at the Perimeter in Dunwoody Georgia, I once stayed at the apartments called 'The Axis at the Perimeter' and in my hometown, I decided to call this plan 'The Allies' like from World War 2. Also, Like the Axis at Perimeter, Allies of Pio Nono has two buildings that are separated by a parking deck.
