Steelcote Flats
A mixed-use housing development on former industrial land in St. Louis's Mill Creek Valley. Its corrugated metal skin, inspired by the surrounding factory buildings, shifts in tone as light moves across it through the day. A second-floor amenity deck includes a heated pool, an ovoid lawn, and outdoor dining.
St. Charles Community College Regional Workforce Innovation Center
The Regional Workforce Innovation Center houses St. Charles Community College's advanced manufacturing, robotics, energy, and healthcare training. Classrooms and study space wrap around the high-bay trade shops at the core, where wiring, piping, and ductwork are left exposed and labeled as a teaching aid. Corridors and the terrazzo lobby open directly onto the shop floors.
21c Museum Hotel St. Louis
The tenth 21c Museum Hotel occupies a 1926 former YMCA on Locust Street, pairing a boutique hotel with contemporary art galleries open to the public. The restoration kept the wood paneled lounges, billiard room, and the basement lap pool with its surviving Swim for Life mosaic, alongside new interiors and the Idol Wolf restaurant.
Beloit College Powerhouse
Beloit College Powerhouse is a reused coal plant on the Rock River, now a recreation and wellness center. The brick walls, smokestack, and the salvaged turbine machinery have been kept in place. A competition pool, a cafe, and a suspended running track thread through the original structures before opening into a new translucent field house.
Energizer Park Complex
Home of St. Louis CITY SC, Energizer Park anchors the western end of the Gateway Mall on land that once held a freeway off-ramp. Its pitch sits forty feet below grade, drawing every seat close to the action beneath a reflective canopy that frames the Gateway Arch.
St. Louis Art Museum East Building
The Saint Louis Art Museum East Building is an expansion to the 1904 museum in Forest Park, a low pavilion clad in dark polished concrete cast with Missouri and Wisconsin river aggregates. Behind it, a sculpture garden and river birch allées display modern and contemporary works against the pale brick and limestone of Cass Gilbert's original building.
