523 Grand Blvd 1B
A live/work space with a point of view
Located on the corner of Grand and Missouri in the River Market, we designed this two-level live/work condo as a fully integrated environment for someone who creates, hosts, thinks, and builds.
With direct street access, dual zoning, and a flexible layout that blurs the line between residence and studio, we believe 1B is ideal for a business owner, creative professional, or founder.
The vision
1B was designed around the idea that your space should work as hard and look as confident as you do.
Instead of hiding color or minimizing personality, this home leans into both. Wallpaper murals, custom lighting, and bold material choices are balanced by thoughtful zoning, high ceilings, and serious infrastructure. The result is a space that feels energizing during the day and restorative at night.
Designed for live/work
This is where 1B truly separates itself.
Street-facing entry with zoning for mixed use, allowing for a legitimate office, studio, or client-facing workspace
Opportunity for exterior signage and branding on a premium corner of downtown just a few minutes walk from the Streetcar
Optional configuration (with longer-term lease) to create a fully private, secure front business zone
Clear spatial separation between work areas and private living quarters
Whether you host meetings, see clients, run a small team, or simply want your work life to feel elevated and intentional, 1B supports it.
Design features
Soaring lofted ceilings, and oversized windows with custom top-down/bottom-up shades
Sculptural spiral staircase connecting public and private zones
Custom kitchen with mirrored glass Samsung Bespoke refrigerator, quartz countertops, and layered lighting
Lofted bedroom designed as a soft retreat, with plush carpet and retractable velvet curtains
Dramatic, fully tiled 5’ x 5’ walk-in shower with dual showerheads, a built-in bench, and heated floors

Every element was chosen to feel intentional, luxurious, durable, and visually confident. Nothing is accidental or generic.
