On Thursday, October 23rd, WVIZ’s “Applause” program featured the Clarence Court development as one of three examples of innovative architecture in Northeast Ohio.
“From the late 19th through the early 20th century, Cleveland built a reputation as an oasis for progressive planners and architects - people who displayed their civic vision through massive public buildings and common spaces,” moderator and WCPN Around Noon host Dee Perry says. “On this edition of Applause, we're here to show you that the city still attracts dreamers and visionaries who want to build something remarkable... it's just the scale and locations that have changed.”
Architect Dan Bickerstaff of Ubiquitous Design Ltd., who designed Clarence Court in collaboration with Keith Brown of Progressive Urban Real Estate, was credited as “thinking outside of the box” in his approach to urban residential design in Clarence Court. This project features angled walls, the use of corrugated metal, and a single-family home that is a truly unique example of creative, contemporary architecture in Cleveland.
Clarence Court is located at the intersection of West 9th Street and Brayton Avenue in Tremont, near a local landmark, Lucky's Coffeeshop on Starkweather Ave.
“I would consider this style of architecture to be post-Industrial,” Bickerstaff said during his interview, citing the influence of the surrounding Tremont neighborhood as well as the nearby Industrial Flats.
