Join us for a tour of the exterior of the Louisa Flowers Apartments guided by Melissa Knight with Pinehurst Management; the building management company. Following the tour, we will meet across the street at Metropolitan Tavern 1021 NE Grand Ave, #600 for a panel discussion with a higher level view of the Louisa Flowers Apartments.
Kimberly Moreland with Oregon Black Pioneers will tell us the background & personal history of Louisa Flowers and her contributions to the city of Portland. Julie Livingston with Home Forward will share about the selection process to name the project after Louisa Flowers.
Next, a panel with members of the design team- Calista Fitzgerald, LRS Architects and Doug Sheets, Lever Architecture; the masonry subcontractor- Nathan Storey, B+B Masonry; and masonry product representative, John Gallup, Laticrete International will share key design elements of the project. At 12 stories, or 130’ feet high, the Louisa Flowers Apartments are the tallest project on the North American west coast to have a complete skin of adhered veneer masonry. Discussion and QA will center on the building design and construction techniques surrounding the thin brick application on the façade and other unique design elements that went into this affordable housing project.
