Artistry
The goals for Phase 1 were to design a building that would:
- Serve as a gateway and catalyst for the revitalization of the Market East Cultural District
- Create a vibrant mixed-use development through the adaptive reuse of the former Bank One Operations Center
- Emphasize an urban industrial aesthetic through the physical reuse of the existing building structure
- Promote an urban apartment community that is enhanced by its dynamic outdoor living environment
Challenges and Opportunities
Phase I of the project was particularly challenging due to the owner’s intent to build up from an existing structure. The configuration of the existing structure required that designers incorporate a number of potentially awkward column locations. Ultimately, this became a feature of the building design as the column placement dictated a wide array of residential unit variations and influenced the façade. By addressing these challenges with unique design solutions, the owner can offer tenants more layout options and the building boasts a more dynamic façade that brings new life to the streetscape. An open third floor pool and recreation deck provides dramatic views of the downtown area for all residents along with two interior courtyards featuring a fountain, vegetable garden, bocce court, and putting green.
Mentor and Muse
CSO went on to design Phase 2 of the project, which involved the addition of two buildings, the Mentor and Muse at Artistry, which provide additional living options to fit different types of lifestyles, including 354 square foot eco-suites for those who need minimal space.

Westfield Aquatic Center
Designed with an Addition in Mind
Due to plans for a YMCA addition to the building, a temporary reception desk was installed. The large glass wall shown above would later become an entryway for the YMCA. With careful planning, the addition of the YMCA coordinated seamlessly with the Aquatic Center.
The 50-meter pool can be separated into three sections via movable bulkheads.
The natatorium also includes 1 and 3-meter diving boards and bleachers which seat 650 spectators.
Reimagining an Outgrown Space
Westfield High School’s 25-meter pool was originally built in 1997. As enrollment increased over time, the facility could no longer accommodate the growing needs of the student body. With the completion of the new Aquatic Center, the original high school pool become obsolete. It was subsequently filled in, and the space was repurposed as a wellness center — also designed by CSO.
