One critical advantage of New Urbanism is that it blends residential, commercial, and retail spaces within the same multi-family development. This approach fosters a strong sense of community, making it easier for residents to connect and engage with their local environment. Morris Square in Charleston is a prime example of how small-scale developers can successfully implement New Urbanism. Allison Ramsey Architects played a crucial role in this vibrant, mixed-use community, designing everything from single-family homes to large mixed-use buildings alongside townhouses, a duplex, and a quadruplex. For small-scale developers, the growing focus on multi-family housing within New Urbanism represents more than a passing trend. It marks a significant transformation in the way cities are planned and lived in.

Following last week’s #heritagetreasures post, we are sharing a micro case study on one of our smaller, but just as important heritage projects; Foley House in Great Malvern. The project was managed by Associate Director of Architecture, Sandy Fishpool. Objective: To return the Grade II listed Foley House to residential use through a sensitive conversion to apartments, working to a tight budget whilst ensuring a restoration that would meet planning requirements. It was discovered that the building was in a dilapidated state which required prompt action and the project was expanded to include major repair works. Approach: We took an interdisciplinary approach, involving planning, listed building consents, design and onsite project management. The local community asked for the retention of the historical plaque on the building façade and we worked hard to ensure this and other important heritage features were retained. Outcome: Success. Planning permission and listed building consent were achieved and the building’s new life as residential apartments began in 2023 when the new occupants of this heritage building moved in. #Heritage #CaseStudy #ResidentialDevelopment #ListedBuilding #PlanningPermission #RuralDevelopment #WeAreRural #ADifferentView

We need clearer policies on circular economy and Ecocel (Ireland) Could play bigger role in job creation and fossil free insulation in this space like many European Countries.

Highbridge, a new residential tower in the Bronx set to begin construction in 2024 and open in 2027, is an all-electric, passive house design by Magnusson Architecture and Planning PC. When complete, the project will far exceed market norms for quality and amenities while drastically reducing emissions compared to baseline code compliance—all while providing affordable homes for hundreds of the most vulnerable New Yorkers. Highbridge is among the standout projects recognized by NYSERDA's #BuildingsofExcellence Competition, which seeks to jump-start a major shift toward climate-friendly construction in the state by supporting the development of architecturally significant, low-carbon multifamily residential buildings.

The Highland Council recently confirmed the Section 75 Agreement for new homes in Conon Bridge, allowing Tulloch Homes to proceed with their approved plans to deliver 160 private and affordable homes in the area. As the project architects, Bracewell Stirling Consulting has been integral to the design and planning process, working as part of a team with engineers, transport consultants, ecologists, and landscape architects. We held consultation events with the public as part of the planning process and consulted with the Highland Council pre-planning. This early-stage engagement helped streamline the application through the planning process. We were the design architects for the site layout, which has been planned to be sympathetic to the existing landform, providing attractive landscaped open spaces and active travel connections with adjacent routes, amenities, and the wider Braes of Conon residential areas. The buildings and layout are designed with consideration for reducing energy use. We are experts in advising clients on cost-effective sustainable design solutions, and all houses in this development will be fitted with air source heat pumps. Construction of the Conon Braes South development, an extension of the existing Conon Bridge North, is expected to start next summer, with a focus on working with local trades and suppliers. #CononBridge #Architects #DesignAndPlanning #HousingDevelopment #PrivateHomes #AffordableHomes

Should you focus on the past... or is the future what matters? As someone who works closely with construction professionals in Ohio, it's inspiring to see the incredible work being done to revitalize historic buildings and neighborhoods in downtown Cincinnati. Take the Willkommen Project in Over-the-Rhine (OTR) for example. It’s more than just a preservation effort—it’s a forward-thinking approach to combining affordability, good design, and historic renovation. By restoring 11 historic buildings and adding modern infill, Willkommen is bringing much-needed affordable housing to a historic area while maintaining its rich architectural fabric. (https://lnkd.in/gtHCnia8) Historic preservation isn’t just about preserving the past—it’s about shaping a future that’s both sustainable and economically sound. Cincinnati shows how we can blend innovation, heritage, and community to create lasting progress. If you’re passionate about urban revitalization or work in construction, I’d love to connect and discuss how these projects are changing the landscape of Cincinnati! 🌍 #UrbanRevitalization #HistoricPreservation #CincinnatiConstruction #ConstructionJobs #Sustainability #BuildingTheFuture
