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

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.

Building Consent If you’re embarking on a new build project, make sure you’re clear on who’s taking responsibility for securing building consent. Many architects and home build companies will organise the whole thing on your behalf…but some may not. #johnandgalina #shutkowskirealestate #bayleysrealestate #bayleyshowick #howick #howickproperty #howickrealestate #aucklandrealestate #realestatenz #realestateagentnz #bayleysauckland #bayleys #altogetherbetter
