office towers, the prospects for Milwaukee's

skyline

remain bright and dynamic, as does the future of a local design firm that earlier this month announced it would will open another office. You may not know the name

rinka

, but you can. Don't miss their work, just look up, so this is the type of space we didn't typically see in office environments in the past. The river, a development on the south side is now coming to life and will be like a garden of sorts, architects Matt. Rinka and Steve Morales showed us around when you can finally walk inside a building you helped design.

I can't imagine what it feels like. It's very humiliating. It really is because we have these ideas in these visions and we work as a team to put them together and walk through them, it really reminds you of the impact you have when you see the

from this

designed building, these men don't They only see what I still like about the US Bank building, that's because I grew up with it. I like it too. They also see what could be. I see a great opportunity for Milwaukee's skyline to continue vertical. Seeing the construction to go up, you must first go down.

The first foundation works are now underway at the couture designed rinka. we wanted to design a building on that site that would represent that as part of the community, as well as a place where someone would look at the capacity and say, I want to live there, I want to live there, facing the lake, I want that to be the backdrop of the museum. of art and the world of discovery and for us, um, that was a challenge that we took very seriously yes, you have Santiago Calatrava in the neighborhood, there exactly, yes, Kitty Court is good company, but Rinka and her team They already have a plan to outdo themselves and right across the street, this land is owned by the state and hasn't even been sold yet, but the idea of ​​what it could become is really amazing, when you think about the possibility of that place making you nervous, yeah, I mean.

We get a little so excited that our entire team goes completely geeky about this, but yeah, it should be a landmark project not only for the city but for the entire state. The state is purchasing the site as a gateway, something that could attract a major company headquarters or mixed-use hotel-residential retail-type development. Rinka says the site could be home to the tallest building in Wisconsin, 50 to 60 stories, the fact that it's lakefront, it's downtown, it's connecting the CBD to the lakefront and to the Third Ward to which It's going to be a project that should attract international attention for whatever the hip and deer district eventually becomes outside the phi surf forum success stories for this local company whose reach extends far beyond suburban developments Downtown, including Drexel Town Square and the lakefront neighborhoods in Oak Creek and Port Washington is part of a portfolio that continues to grow and grow.

We are future thinkers, so when we look at a city we don't necessarily see what is currently there, but rather we want to visualize what will happen with what we would like. see there in the future rinka has
