Located in the developing arts district of Saint Louis city, STL Public Radio serves as a nexus between several neighboring points of activity and help to establish a new pedestrian corridor. The building contains office space and broadcast studios on the upper levels and event/classroom space on the ground level. An exterior plaza creates a public link between the new building and the adjacent public television station to the west, providing a venue for jointly sponsored events. A large cantilever at the sidewalk edge both marks the building entry and frames the plaza beyond. Saw-tooth projections along the street facade, while shaped to reflect the program contained within, also serve to engage pedestrians and allow views past adjacent buildings. As senior designer from schematic through construction, Matt developed the overall design, massing and planning of the building and adjacent plaza, developed drawings, renderings and document sets, organized the design team, created programming and material studies, designed interiors, furniture and landscape and coordinated with consultants.
