Tarragona Lofts

Designed as an urban infill project, Tarragona Lofts (unbuilt) will replace a recently demolished non-historic one-story building and occupy a surface parking lot in Pensacola’s downtown core. Immediately opposite the S. Tarragona St. facade of the recently constructed downtown YMCA, the “Lofts” building scale will be a more appropriately sized neighbor that fits within the context of the YMCA’s industrial box-like massing and the nearby 5-story Southtowne city block.  The building floor plans are a reaction to the urban vibrancy and associated noise of nearby late-night entertainment establishments to the west and therefore feature open air, full width balconies on the more quiet east side of the loft residences.  The exterior material palette is representative of the surrounding brick warehouse district.
