The Porter
Richmond, Virginia
Summary
The gentle curves of The Porter evoke a spirit of adventure, animated by architecture emulating the Art Deco train stations of the early 20th century. In a lively district that’s the mecca for Richmond's renowned craft breweries, the five-story residential building caters to the esthetic and needs of a young community looking to share experiences over a good pint of beer. The interiors reinforce the mood with aged wood to complement a jewel-toned palette, industrial brass and copper accents, and vintage-inspired velvets. The theme carries through outdoors with a railroad-patterned outdoor courtyard highlighted by gas grills, lounge seating, and a cozy firepit. The 306-unit apartment complex features a pet spa, gated dog park, covered garage parking equipped with 12 EV chargers, top level sky deck and lounge with views of downtown, conference rooms and personal office spaces, a resort-style swimming pool, and a generous fitness center and courtyard.
