GKV has designed a new 12-story residential building with 148 units in downtown Providence, Rhode Island. The 123,000 square foot building will become the city’s first modular building. Each modular unit will be prefabricated overseas and then shipped to site for quick assembly. The ground floor of the building will be built using conventional construction techniques and will form a podium to support the stacked modules of the tower. The ground floor will also feature a coffee bar, lobby lounge and large retail space. The building’s architectural finishes will include blackened steel, and balconies with floors constructed with glass pavers.
