From a Central West End parking lot, one of the tallest residential buildings is expected to rise next year. It will be a 36-story apartment tower with a stunningly modern appearance. According to the building information firm, Emporis, in Hamburg, Germany, it is also expected to tower 65 feet above the planned Ballpark Village apartment building downtown. Even with its expected height, it will still not be metro St Louis’ tallest residential building.
According to a recent article by stltoday.com “Renowned Chicago-based architecture firm Studio Gang Architects has been commissioned to design a 36-story residential tower in the Central West End. Situated between Chase Park Plaza (pictured at left) and Park East Tower, the complex at 100 North Kingshighway (and named One Hundred) will rise to 385 feet, and be significantly taller than its neighbors. “
More specifically, the article states that “Aside from the 630-foot Gateway Arch, the Kingshighway apartment building — named One Hundred — will look up in St. Louis to only the Metropolitan Square, One AT&T Center, Eagleton U.S. Courthouse, U.S. Bank Plaza, Laclede Gas, Southwestern Bell and Civil Courts buildings.”
The founding principal of Chicago-based Studio Gang said on Thursday “that One Hundred is designed to give its residents wide views of Forest Park to the west and the Arch to the east. Each of its 305 apartments will have a corner living room to increase the amount of interior daylight. One Hundred’s facade of angled glass is intended to enhance residents’ views and to save energy.”
“In a climate with four distinct seasons, we wanted to make it possible for residents to enjoy the different views and natural changes in light over the course of the year,” Gang said. “By experimenting with the geometry of the facade and refining the apartment layouts, we were able to make every apartment into a corner unit perched above the park and city.”

With the many new and modern apartment buildings expected to rise in St. Louis like the One Hundred, residents have more options to live in a comfortable place. And with One Hundred’s view of Forest Park, it is not impossible to get your share of relaxing views and sceneries that will wipe away stress.
However, you don’t have to live in a high-rise apartment to enjoy a vast and striking view of nature. You can turn your lawn into a landscape masterpiece and surround your home with the soothing power of nature.
Roses such as Petunia, Snapdragon, Lily-of-the-Nile, and ‘Gertrude Jekyll’, can greatly add to your home’s welcoming entrance. If there is not enough space between the street and your house, a low fence in the front yard can do the trick as it makes your house look like it is far from the street and can give you space to plant flowers.
A recent article by southernliving.com states that “Your home may be your castle, but rather than surround it with a moat, use any of these ten wonderful yard landscaping ideas to add warmth, color, and texture to the place you love to live. From growing blooming shrubs, to planting annuals and perennials, to deer-proofing your garden, there are many beautiful and wonderful ways to make your home inviting and appealing.”
More specifically, according to the article, “Some of our best landscaping ideas include adding height with planters and baskets, and creating spaces where outdoor party guests can sit, relax, and enjoy drinks and company.
Flowers always make a home seem more welcoming. Adorn your entrance with assorted annuals and perennials to keep your home awash with color all year long.”
Other ideas mentioned in the article are as follows. “Another way to make the most of your yard landscape is by planting lovely rambling vines. We recommend growing this versatile vine on a fence, on a trellis, or in a container.
Crinums laugh at drought, don’t need fertilizer, and welcome hot, humid summers with lily-like flowers that perfume the air. Because they grow into huge bulbs over time, they’re practically indestructible. If you need a low-maintenance, high-impact flower, this low-fuss lily will be your go-to plant.”
Additionally, “If you ask anyone what the easiest way to transform the look of your home landscape is, they’ll definitely tell you: blooms. Blossoming flowers, shrubs, and trees make an incredible impact across a yard, and you can add color in just one lasting step.
