As the region begins to think of growth and the future of our major thoroughfares, it is important to envision the possibilities. With the initial feedback from Fayetteville's public input indicating a desire for more 'missing middle' housing types, as well as retail, service amenities and recreational facilities along 71b, the proposed zoning changes aim to address these needs. Collaborating with Groundwork, GEMSTONE Design Studio has reimagined what this zoning change could look like. This would allow for more mixed-use buildings, keeping density in developed areas while preserving natural and working lands. . The remaining public input sessions are 6/5 and 6/6 from 3pm - 6pm and 6/7 from 9am - 12pm. All three remaining dates will be held at the City Hall, first floor foyer.

This is a great illustration of how more flexible and hyperlocal zoning codes could transform our neighborhoods. Imagine being able to integrate small commercial spaces within residential areas without needing rezoning. This could encourage more walkable, vibrant communities where people can live, work, and shop locally. #UrbanPlanning #Zoning #CommunityDevelopment

Clever redesign achieves Development Consent With clever redesign and experienced negotiation, Dickson Rothschild took this project with site legal issues, a bulky design and complicated coastal site issues, and helped to fast track a development consent at Section 34. The result is a high-density development offering housing types demanded by the local market, within an attractive street frontage and a human-scale buildings design.

I get it. We all love old buildings. But NYC has great *new* buildings, too, right? When I asked what your favorite building is in NYC, the newest building anyone named was the UN headquarters. So what's your favorite building in NYC from 2000 or later? Not sure I can pick one, but there's something about the perimeter block aspect of Via 57 West that I love. At minimum, it's unique - a waterfront pyramid! #nyc #architecture #realestate #residentialrealestate #commercialrealestate #zoning #landuse

It's easy to fall for the charm of a beautiful historic home or a sleek new build, but here's a tip—focus on long-term value! 💡 While Minneapolis offers stunning architecture, from Craftsman homes in Marcy-Holmes to modern condos downtown, it's important to think beyond the looks. Consider the home's structure, layout, and how it holds up through our harsh winters. 🌨️ These are the things that will matter most in the long run.

I am back in Preston and that means a visit to one of my favourite buildings Preston Bus Station: A Monument to Modernist Vision and Civic Resilience In the heart of Preston, Lancashire, stands a structure that embodies the intersection of ambition, design, and public service: Preston Bus Station. To many, it's more than just a transport hub—it's a symbol of civic pride, architectural brilliance, and resilience in the face of change. Opened in 1969, this iconic building was once Europe’s largest bus station, a bold testament to the optimism of the post-war era. Its sweeping, curved concrete lines and vast scale reflect the modernist vision of architects Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson, creating a sense of flow and dynamism that mirrored the progressive aspirations of the time. Yet, the story of Preston Bus Station isn’t just about its striking design. It’s a story of survival. In the early 2000s, the station faced the very real threat of demolition. For some, it was a relic of a bygone era, out of place in a rapidly evolving city. But for others, it was a landmark worth fighting for. A passionate campaign led by local communities, architects, and heritage groups culminated in 2013 when the building was awarded Grade II listed status, securing its place in the city’s future. Since then, Preston Bus Station has undergone a transformation, balancing its historic significance with modern functionality. The redevelopment, completed in 2018, saw a sensitive restoration that respected the original design while improving facilities for today’s commuters. It’s now a bustling hub once again, serving as a gateway to Preston and a reminder of the city’s rich architectural heritage. Preston Bus Station is more than just a place where buses come and go—it’s a symbol of how communities can come together to preserve their heritage, how thoughtful design can endure the test of time, and how modernism, even in concrete, can remain a living part of our urban landscape. Next time you’re in Preston, take a moment to appreciate this remarkable structure. It's not just a bus station; it’s a piece of history that continues to serve the community, connecting people and places while standing tall as a testament to the power of collective action and the enduring relevance of great design. #Architecture #Heritage #Modernism #PrestonBusStation #CivicPride #UrbanDesign

Title: The Evolution of San Francisco's Skyline: Blending Progress and Preservation San Francisco's skyline has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past 25 years, as chronicled by John King, the Urban Design Critic at the San Francisco Chronicle. In his recent article, "SF is changing before our eyes — just like it always has been," King highlights how the city's evolving architecture reflects its ongoing journey of growth and development. The rise of new high-rise buildings, such as the iconic Salesforce Tower, has reshaped the city's urban landscape. However, amidst these towering symbols of progress, San Francisco has also prioritized inclusive development. Projects like 181 Fremont Street showcase a blend of luxury and affordability, with housing units alongside offices. This commitment to diversity extends to the city's architectural heritage, as seen in the restoration of historic buildings like the 25-story shoebox building from 1955. San Francisco's architectural diversity is a testament to its rich history and progressive vision. From modern high-rises to historic gems like One Kearny Street, the city's buildings span over a century of architectural styles. Furthermore, community-focused design initiatives, such as the development of affordable housing in the Tenderloin area, demonstrate the city's dedication to creating a more inclusive urban environment. As real estate professionals, it is crucial for us to recognize and appreciate the significance of this architectural evolution. The investments made during the current economic boom will have a lasting impact on San Francisco's urban landscape, contributing to a more resilient and diverse city. By embracing this blend of progress and preservation, we can play a vital role in shaping the future of our city. Let's continue this conversation: How do you think San Francisco's evolving architecture will influence the real estate market in the coming years?

This microdistrict project was created on the basis of the principles of "New Urbanism". It is a mixture of people (of different ages, races, wealth) and a mixture of the architecture (administrative, public and residential buildings). A comfortable living environment includs green pedestrian routes, bike paths, places for collecting and sorting garbage in underground parking lots, and a humane number of floors of residential buildings, which is so necessary for Vladivostok city. The concept of the residential complex was based on an analysis of the pedestrian activities of the residents of this area. Self-organized squares (points of attraction) and the most logical directions from the complex were taken as the basis of the pedestrian frame. You can look at the brainstorming in details in a previous post. #masterplan #microdistrict #urban #city #urbanplanning #urbandesign #residentialdesign #residentialarchitecture #architecture #publicspace #landscaping #landscapearchitecture #plan #neighborhood
