The Heron Museum District

CHALLENGE
Located near the prestigious Boulevard Oaks, The Heron Museum District faced the challenge of appealing to a modern and affluent rental market while honoring the architectural legacy of its surroundings. The goal was to create a residential experience that feels as refined and welcoming as a custom estate or luxury hotel, blending timeless design with modern, wellness-focused amenities to attract discerning, high-end residents.

SOLUTION
Through careful research, the design team drew inspiration from the neighborhood’s classical and Art Deco influences, incorporating grand arches and elegant detailing throughout. Gensler led the interior design of the public spaces and amenities, including the lobby, leasing offices, sky lounge, spa, pool, fitness center, and model units. The grand lobby, featuring a 20-foot-wide chandelier and custom floor medallion, sets the tone for a hospitality-style living experience. Bespoke finishes and curated amenities, including a wellness wing, pet spa, concierge services, and co-working spaces, position The Heron as a luxury residential property on par with a five-star hotel.

IMPACT
The result is a thoughtfully choreographed living experience for residents of the 303 boutique one- and two-bedroom apartments. With customizable high-end fixtures and panoramic views from the Canopy Sky Lounge, The Heron elevates everyday living. Residents enjoy a sense of community and luxury with amenities that enhance both convenience and wellbeing, from the 100-foot shimmering pool to the Plume cinema room.
