Hearth is an eight-story mixed-use building in Boise’s growing Central Addition. Located just one block from the Fowler apartments, Hearth brings further density and urban amenities to the growing neighborhood.

In conjunction with the City of Boise’s vision for a lively, mixed-use district, Hearth is a mix of residential and retail spaces. With an emphasis on enhancing the pedestrian experience, the building’s “Z” shape pulls the building massing from the street while maximizing square footage inside.

The layout also creates space for the fourth-floor courtyards, which further enliven the streetscape. Other resident amenity spaces are expressed on the exterior to animate the building. The ground floor retail tenant spaces open out onto the sidewalk with operable windows and patio seating.

Active Street

Ample sidewalk space maximizes pedestrian interaction with the building, providing seating and connecting to the resident entrance and tenant spaces.
