1115 WERTLAND STREET

The 1115 Wertland Street apartment project in Charlottesville, Virginia is ideally situated for students of the University of Virginia. The building is one of a growing number of urban infill projects in the neighborhoods surrounding UVa, designed to take advantage of underutilized and vacant land in a highly sought-after, walkable neighborhood only a few hundred yards from Thomas Jefferson's Rotunda.

At the request of the owner, the building combines a timeless classical geometry with the pitched angles of the regional vernacular Craftsman style common to Central Virginia. Clad in shingle with a base of stone, and with a majority of its parking placed below grade, 1115 Wertland Street blends in gracefully with the neighborhood while also contributing a distinguished aesthetic of its own.
