Arc on Armour

What is Arc on Armour?

Arc on Armour is an apartment residence located on Armour Blvd. in Kansas City. This conversion of a classic Mid-Century office building to rental homes started in July of 2019 and will be complete in the fall of 2020. The distinct, modern units retain some unique original characteristics of the original architecture. The apartment community is now leasing for fall of 2020.

A Meaningful Name

The name refers both to the previous commercial occupant, American Red Cross, and the unique arched windows on the facade. Part of the renovation mindset was to honor the history of the building, evidenced both in its name as well as the interior design, where nods to classic Mid-Century motifs abound. Embedded in the neighborhood for more than half a century, now restored and with a renewed purpose, the arc of this edifice’s lifeline has been drawn.

Unique Building Design

Honoring history by saving a piece of the past, restoring and redefining it for the future is rewarding. In Arc on Armour’s case, the distinctive arches in the front were largely infilled with brick. Arc on Armour reimagined those dramatic arches as entirely composed of glass, giving the units full-height and full-width windows. Other original elements like the lobby’s terrazzo, the exposed concrete ceilings and the masonry planters flanking the entrance, were retained and restored to further convey the character of the original architecture. building’s character. With only 62 Units, residents enjoy the amenities of a huge apartment development with a small community feel. Bonus: All lower level homes have patios that extend the living area.

Maximum Space for Living

The full-height expanse of windows in every apartment living room blurs the line between interior and exterior, giving the feeling of expansion and of being connected to the outdoors. The natural-toned light wood cabinets, open shelving, black marbleized quartz and black accents paired with light laminate wood flooring and high exposed concrete ceilings all give a sense of openness with a side of stylish, modern vibes.
Bonus: Euro Style Cabinets, Quartz Countertops, Garbage Disposals, Washer & Dryer in Each Home, LED Lighting, & Smart Locks.

Important Life Amenities

Need an office away from office? The resident work lounge has all the right productivity vibes. Arc has taken the most important amenities and put them under one roof so the residents don’t need to pay for amenities elsewhere or pay for amenities they will never use. The fitness center will feature next level equipment along with an interactive Mirror Exercise system with live classes.

MACrame Workshop:
Hanging Plants

Square knot, half knot, lark’s head knot… Our residents got tangled up in over 110 feet of macrame rope, to learn how to make a beautiful hanging plant to decorate their homes!

MACrame Workshop: Hanging Plants

Square knot, half knot, lark’s head knot… Our residents got tangled up in 110 feet of macrame rope, to learn how to make a beautiful hanging plant for their homes!

That's A Lot of Rope!

That’s what we thought too! In fact, while our marketing team was cutting seemingly endless amounts of macrame rope, we kept asking, “Are you sure this is right?” We had close to 30 residents participate in this virtual event. That means, in total, we cut over 3,300 feet of rope all together! (That’s equal to about 1 kilometer, or 2/3 of a mile!) Each kit included 8 long pieces of pre-cut rope, a short piece to tie the bottom, a wooden ring to use as a hanger, and a cute little pot to plant something special in.

Teaching our virtual workshop via Zoom was small business owner, Darcy Barnett. She operates her online Macrame store via her Etsy shop, Knotted Youth. While she averages about 10-15 orders a week, Darcy also loves sharing her talents with others.

The way she approached the steps for the workshop was really smart. First, she introduced the three knots we would be using for the majority of the project. Then, she slowly went through the full process, occasionally returning back the knot demos, using different colored chords for extra visual comprehension. Our residents followed along at home, while darcy answered any and all of their questions.

A Beautiful Mess...

Sometimes, the most interesting creations in life come from need. In fact, problem solving is the heart of ingenuity. For Darcy, this was the catalyst which sparked her love for macrame. Some house plants are toxic to pets!

"My interest in macrame was born out of necessity-- My two cats, Soyah and Ulo, are serial plant chompers. In order to protect my sweet boys AND my helpless plants, I decided to make a few macrame plant hangers to keep my plants out of cat-reach. I scoured Pinterest for tutorials, and a few hours later...I had fashioned a plant hanger out of shiny, synthetic laundry line. What I didn't realize at the time was that I had not only found the combination of many of my interests...I had also found an incredibly cathartic way to combat anxiety. Macrame, at its core, is a very meditative form of art. It requires you to focus on what your hands are doing and touching RIGHT NOW...and not the millions of things flying around your mind. I think that's what enthralls me the most about Macrame: it requires you to press pause and create with your own two hands... and it doesn't need to be perfect. You get better as you go, and your work becomes more complex as you learn more techniques.

My first few plant hangers were a...beautiful mess. The knots were uneven, I was using super thin twine from the hardware store that was rough on my hands, and I only knew two or three knots. BUT!... They held plants, and I kept going; because it quickly became a way to force myself to stop running a mile a minute and to just focus on the now. Two years and many knots later: I teach classes, I have my own Etsy store (KnottedYouthStudio, an homage to my love for the band Sonic Youth), my plant collection has grown, and I have found a way to channel my nervous energy into a relaxing and functional art form on a daily basis. I encourage everyone to give it a try-- we could all use an hour or two of creating something beautiful.

P.S. My cats no longer have leaves to chomp, but they do love to support me while I work....and maybe chomp a string or two."

Are You Swooning Yet?

Us too! While only 30 people could join us for the live virtual event due to the intimacy of the workshop, we KNOW there are plenty of others out there who would want to make their own potted plant hangers, too. No need to scour Pintrest, either!

Typically, we record our Zoom sessions for tutorial events like these, in case any of our residents are unable to attend. Often times, this happens because our event slots fill up really quickly, and honestly, it’s just nice to have a reference to turn back to. However, this time around we ran into technical difficulties. We lost our video recording, and again we turned to Darcy for help. Out of that, we ended up with something even better: a Darcy original, YouTube-worthy macrame tutorial, edited by our graphic design intern, Jess Andreas!

Take Aways

First off, macrame rocks! It’s not always easy, but it is super rewarding. Secondly, some house plants are not only tasty, but also toxic to our fur babies. Pictured below are Darcy’s very happy and healthy kitties, safe from all the chompable plants! And finally, when it comes to events, whether they be virtual or in person, Mac residents enjoy connecting with their neighbors and learning new skills.

... you make virtual cocktails!

There is no question that this year has been wild! When COVID-19 hit, we thought our spring and summer event plans were toast and frankly our marketing team was a bit downtrodden. How can we follow the rules of social distancing while still providing entertainment for our residents?

...you make virtual cocktails!

There is no question that this year has been wild! When COVID-19 came bursting through our spring and summer plans, frankly our marketing team was a bit downtrodden. We had so many exciting event ideas for our residents, but then something amazing happened…

Our Sign-up Page Literally Exploded!

Typical events at Mac are held in our various communal locations, such as our on site theater (yeah, we have a movie theater!) or by the poolside, etc. Circumstances reminded us that, sometimes you have to just go with the flow, and the ways our residents adapted to these changes were truly inspiring! While there was no precedent for virtual events at Mac, our residents were eager to stay engaged with their neighbors, no matter the format.

From the Start...

Our team at Mac has a goal to assist our 30-building portfolio in Kansas City feel and act as a community within a community. Our events provide a way for our residents to not only engage in fun activities, but also get to know their neighbors. We find that these connections are part of what makes living at Mac truly unique.

Behind the scenes of event preparation, you’ll typically find a dedicated team of Mac’s employees putting together all the bells and whistles for each event. For the Mac Mixology event, this meant assembling close to 90 cocktail kits with fresh ingredients.

To the Final Detail...

The amount of thought and finesse that goes into structuring Mac events is creativity at its finest. Our marketing team, and all of us at Mac really put our best foot forward with not only thinking up really unique concepts, but also bringing them to life with the brain power of KC’s one and only, Lindsey Mitchell.

"Typically, I consider an event successful when I witness residents come together, exchanging stories, Instagram handles and an overall welcoming demeanor while sharing the experiences we provide at Mac. Nothing makes my heart glow like seeing someone leave an event with a group of newfound friends.

I was hesitant on how to host virtual events as I was fearful that the technology aspect would take away the personal 1:1 interactions that we pride ourselves on. However, we watched how virtual events sparked larger conversations for the entire group! Now, our residents were no longer in the corner speaking to 2 new friends, they were on Zoom speaking to 50 people at once about their favorite cocktails, or about the new hobby they've taken up in quarantine, etc.

Virtual events created a different type of connection, and as we move forward in our event programming at Mac, I think we will strive to strike a balance between both virtual and in-person events so we can cater to everyone in our community and their social preferences."

Lindsey Mitchell

Events and Engagement Manager

Here Is the Best Part:

No matter the circumstances, Mac will continue to provide community entertainment for all of its residents, not only here in KCMO, but also in the other cities we operate in. St. Louis and Chicago each have their own Event Coordinators who plan and organize resident events, so when they stick their heads together, it’s truly amazing to hear about all the the ideas they create to keep our residents feeling together, no matter what life throws at us!

We would love to have you at an upcoming Mac event, click the handy dandy button below, it takes you right to the events sign-up and calendar page! We hope to see you soon.

~ Namaste ~

A watercolor sunset. A gentle breeze. Soft music and a seemingly one-on-one yoga session. This is just a glimpse of what Mac residents and members of Wellbridge experienced at our Sunset Rooftop Yoga event in late June. Mac residents were offered a free week membership at Wellbridge and entered in a raffle as well. St. Louisans of all ages showed up to our Parc Frontenac roof, yoga mat in hand, ready to unwind and take in the views that Forest Park so graciously offers. But this was no ordinary yoga session. Because of the Soundoff headphones, each yogi experienced the instructor talking to them personally, without having to strain to hear what movement was next. This created an even more relaxed atmosphere, with many closing their eyes to focus on their breathing and technique. Calming music also played in the background, enticing everyone to let go of what they were worried about before the event and truly live in the moment.

We appreciate our partnership with Wellbridge Clayton and we can’t wait to host again with them in the future. A special thanks goes out to Nikki for being such a wonderful instructor and Brian for helping set up! Don’t want to miss the next yoga session? Then be sure to follow us for event updates on Instagram @stlmacproperties and while you’re at it, check out @wellbridge_clayton too!
