Millrace stands out as a new landmark structure for the city of Provo, UT. The project site became the focal point of the city to create a proper gateway into Provo.  Working closely with city administration and local residents, zoning limitations were amended and a new vision for the city was created that required a substantial structure be erected.  The site is a true multimodal hub with commuter rail, heavy rail, rapid transit, bike, pedestrian, vehicular and future manned drone and delivery drone landing zones.   

Inspired by the Mountain canyons of the Wasatch Front, Millrace at Provo Station emulates the unique geometry found in the rock outcroppings that line the canyon walls.  Communal spaces are primarily located on the upper floors of Millrace symbolizing the numerous resorts and countless outdoor activities that draw valley floor residents to the higher elevations of the mountains.  Seeking to redefine the typology of what multifamily housing should be, Millrace goes beyond the standard considerations of amenities, rather it focuses on the betterment of the modern living experience, connecting to the senses and rejuvenating the mind, body and soul.
