One River North

A crack of natural terrain carves through the sixteen-storey glass facade of this mixed-use building in an arts district. More than an apartment block, it is a vertical landscape that residents can wander as if hiking in the mountains.

Between the sixth and ninth floors, a canyon trail leads residents through planted environments inspired by the foothills and canyons of the region, accompanied by the sound of cascading water audible from the street below. The building holds 187 rental apartments over fifteen floors and a ground floor shop that blends into the surrounding streetscape, with more than 13,000 square feet of terraces that seem to hang in open space.
