Welcome to Aloma – Where Nature Meets Home! Designed for the ultimate outdoor enthusiast, Aloma is the final chapter in a thoughtfully crafted community in Shoreview, Minnesota. As the third and final phase of this multi-phase development, Aloma strikes the perfect balance — honoring the past while shaping a fresh, unique identity that seamlessly blends with its surroundings. Here, every detail is designed to inspire adventure, embrace tranquility, and connect with nature.
Each phase of Aloma is designed as a modified “U” courtyard building with the courtyard positioned south to take advantage of solar orientation. It is broken up into three building segments to minimize scale and bring natural light and transparency into the corridors. The bars of each building are rotated slightly to bring interest and a dynamic quality. The buildings are rotated toward similar locations to bring a synergy between the phases and create subtle differences between phases.
With an overall concept rooted in Scandinavian styling; concrete patterned flooring along with large wooden timbers and blacken steel offset the highly designed spaces, furniture, finishes, and accessories. Branding is integrated to the overall concept and applied through all areas of the interior and exterior to communicate a youthful, cohesive, and beautifully designed apartment complex into Shoreview. Amenity spaces include a Clubroom, Fitness and Yoga, Theater, Mini-market, Co-Working, Pet Spa, Sauna, Business Center, Mail, and Facility Leasing/Management space. Outdoor amenities include an outdoor courtyard space with patio, pool, hot tub, fire pit, grilling stations, bar, trellis, private walk-out patios, and landscaping.
