The Stannary is a four-story, three-unit urban infill in the historic Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati. The owners live in the third and fourth floor penthouse unit, and the remaining two floors are apartments. The site strategy was based on maintaining maximum street frontage on the Race Street facade and Alley garage, while slimming the plan to create courtyards to the South and North of the building to let in more light. All units have direct access to exterior space and terraces, and the 4th floor penthouse has a generous terrace overlooking Race street with a large, retractable glass wall opening to the kitchen and living area. There is another terrace facing East that is also accessible from the penthouse living area.
The entire project was subject to intense scrutiny by the historic review board as it reconciles strict historic guidelines with contemporary considerations of detail, material, and space. Two types of gray ironstone brick clad the principal facade- articulated by a stainless steel joint. Cement fiberboard rain screen cladding is used throughout the remainder of the building. The windows on the Race Street facade are created with custom steel plate frames, projecting out on the upper floor and receding at the ground level.
The guardrail for the upper terrace is articulated as a cornice element capping the brick volume, and is created from steel plate and perforated steel panels.
The project has achieved a LEED Gold certification.
