Cornerstone Apartments

Cornerstone Apartments represents a thoughtful integration of modern urban living within Madison’s historic Schenk-Atwood neighborhood. The building’s design balances a contemporary aesthetic with sensitivity to its surrounding context—using a mix of masonry, glass, and metal detailing to create an engaging, pedestrian-friendly street presence while maintaining neighborhood scale and character.

Large windows and private balconies emphasize natural light and connection to the outdoors, while interior layouts maximize efficiency and livability within compact footprints. The project’s orientation and massing enhance urban connectivity, activating the corner of Atwood and Dunning Streets and reinforcing the corridor’s mixed-use vibrancy.

At abuilding-systems level, Cornerstone demonstrates a commitment to sustainability and quality—featuring durable materials, energy-efficient design, and modern amenities such as electric vehicle charging and indoor bike storage. The rooftop terrace and community room not only provide social gathering spaces but also elevate the resident experience through views of the city and Lake Monona.
