This former industrial site includes a river-walk, strategically placed fountains, distinctive lighting, elegant paving, and detailed landscaping. The master plan responds to difficult urban edges, shielding itself from intense rail lines and major arterials while opening itself to the river edge. The site plan organizes townhouses around two brick-paved interior streets, creating a quiet enclave of traditional masonry and stone facades. Differentiation through variations in material and detail emphasize individual personality while maintaining a unified whole.
