Project Spotlight: River Park Apartments - Glendale, WI

Thrive Architects completes a transformative journey!

We were presented with the exciting challenge of repurposing a former nursing home in Glendale, Wisconsin. Located adjacent to the picturesque Milwaukee River and Oak Leaf trail system, our design approach was deeply rooted in enhancing the overall experiential quality.


Our dedicated team undertook a comprehensive exterior and interior remodel, all while preserving the integrity of the existing window placements. The result? A seamless blend of functionality and aesthetics.


Strategic placement of amenities such as a community room, fitness center, laundry facility, and resident pet wash was meticulously planned to optimize usability. Moreover, a grand lobby featuring an expansive fireplace serves as a warm and inviting focal point, encouraging community interaction and connection.


Not stopping there, we also reconfigured the property layout to accommodate new detached garages, further enhancing the convenience and comfort of residents.
