A vision beyond building condos; we aim to build community

What a big week here at Luminato! The Landry French team began to pour the foundation and we installed 15 banners featuring photos of Portland Ballet dancers along our building site on Franklin Street. Taken by local photographer Jonathan Reece, these images create a visually compelling space, rather than a typical construction-site eyesore. The photos are part of  Discover Portland Ballet, a collaboration between Portland Ballet and Reece that began in 2013 as a passionate ode to both the city and the performing […]

Will I hear my neighbors?

The developers of Luminato have gone to extremes to assure privacy between floors, where the greatest challenge to controlling sound transmission in condominium buildings exists.  Sound between floors is of two types:  noise that travels through the air, including voices, music, TV, etc. (which is also a concern between units that are side by side) and pounding sounds, primarily neighbors walking on the story above.  Sound through the air is controlled by insulation and isolation, and is aided by bulk.  Pounding […]

What makes Luminato’s heating and air conditioning “state-of-the-art”?

Energy efficiency is integral to a “state-of-the-art” system. The heat­ing and cooling at Luminato will be provided by a Variable Refrigeration Flow (VRF) system. A refrigerant solution will flow to each unit, providing either heating or cooling at any time, on demand. The returning refrigerant will be “tempered,” which means heated or cooled as necessary by an individual heat pump located outside of the building. This is one of the most energy-efficient ways available today to mechanically heat and cool […]
