DESIGN FOR EXPERIENCE
We never lose sight of the fact that we are creating new homes for individuals and families; seniors, children, working parents, young couples, the list goes on. Home is a special place and today’s homes must address accessibility, privacy, flexibility, security, sustainability and all the while provide a beautiful sense of place and dignity for its residents.
Housing is a key area of expertise for MHM, having completed many housing tower renovations and a variety of configurations of new housing projects over the last five years for both housing authorities as well as private and LIHTC developers. We have a core team of architects within the firm that specialize in this work. Our architects working with experienced MEP/structural/civil/environmental consulting experts who have teamed with us frequently have developed a thorough and experienced approach to this work.

MHA MERCURY PARK MASTER PLAN

Project Completion Year: 2021
The incorporation of smaller pocket parks and public green spaces on all blocks of the new development provide healthy and inviting outdoor spaces to be enjoyed by residents and guests alike.

Strategically located in the open lot between Marble Alley Lofts and the State Street Garage, this 140,000 SF mixed-used project promises to reshape downtown Knoxville's urban landscape.
The development will feature a variety of residential units, while the ground level will house commercial spaces, creating a lively streetscape that encourages social interaction and community engagement.
The master plan for Oakland Court was developed over a 3-month series of public input sessions and charettes with MHA staff and board, residents, stakeholder groups, Oakland’s Mansion staff and board, city officials, and the public at large.

The Murfreesboro Housing Authority (MHA) Oakland Court redevelopment project included 76 new housing units to replace the former 1960’s development in Phase I and the addition of 74 homes in Phase II.
The New Urbanist design provides a higher density for the property, easy parking and a walkable, safe development that blends seamlessly with the existing neighborhood.
Safety and security is always a primary neighborhood design focus. The street is well lit and all homes have a front or side porch which allows “eyes on the street” and community connectedness.
Our designs draw on our extensive experience and specialized understanding of sustainable and attractive multi-family housing.
