“The Diving Board”




Nestled at the junction of the Detroit River and canal, The Diving Board welcomes indigenous flora and fauna, urging Jefferson Chalmers locals to explore and cherish their natural surroundings. Atop slender steel columns, a monolithic residential complex harmonizes with the landscape, seamlessly integrated into ground-level rock gardens, offering panoramic views. Mass timber accents highlight a commitment to sustainability, ensuring a year-round natural ambiance. The airy structure promotes well-being, complemented by diverse residential unit types fostering inclusivity. A protruding swimming section offers safe river access, with a floating platform extending park amenities.
