BELVEDERE AT CANOPY, TALLAHASSEE - FLORIDA, USA
Belvedere at Canopy Apartment Buildings, a visionary project designed by architects David Portwood, Sean Palmer, and Chris Eldridge, showcases a meticulously planned community that redefines modern living. This ambitious development encompasses three primary building types, each housing either twenty-four or twenty-eight units, along with the convenience of 4 or 6 car standalone garages.
​
The architectural brilliance extends to the construction methodology, with the buildings designed in Type V construction. This involves the use of 2x6 wood studs for exterior walls, pre-engineered and prefabricated open web wood truss systems for floors and roofs, and post-tensioned concrete slabs as shallow foundations. These construction choices reflect the architects' commitment to durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
​
The heart of the community lies in the 7,200 sq. ft. to 10,000 sq. ft. Clubhouse/Leasing facility, constructed with a wood frame Type VB Construction type. This building serves as a central hub, featuring administrative spaces, flexible meeting areas, business offices, and a vibrant community and activity club space. Its standalone design ensures that it stands as a focal point of the community, encouraging residents to come together and forge connections.
To enhance the resident experience, the project also includes a carwash maintenance building, a freestanding trash compactor, and a mail kiosk. These additions reflect the architects' meticulous attention to detail and the practical needs of the community.
​
With the project currently under construction, Belvedere at Canopy Apartment Buildings is not just a residential development; it's a testament to visionary design and community-centric living that promises to redefine the way residents experience modern apartment living.
