Residential & Mixed Use Communities are a staple of urban and sub-urban residential living. Home designs that balance privacy with efficiency are key, with an emphasis on community living and a strong sense of character. Amenities define the town, help to establish a community center, and provide much-needed on-site services that allow for more walking and interacting and less driving.

designforward

Ole and Paseo Ole and Paseo are master planning projects that utilize similar residential products and clubhouses. The master plans are based on the concept of a town center, where residents are able to enjoy local amenities without having to leave the community by automobile. Paseo is a 200-acre Fort Myers community, and features over 800 multi-family units, and 141 single family residences. Ole is a 64-acre plan, developed as part of the Lely community in Naples, and features 663 total residential units.

Naples Bay Resort The Naples Bay Resort is a 300,000 square-foot, multi-discipline project requiring master planning, architecture, graphics, and interior design services over a multi-year design and construction period. The master planning phase began with a 10-acre triangular site containing an existing 3-acre boat basin, and the client’s desire to create a water-focused mixed-use project in the downtown redevelopment district. The design team provided master planning and architectural design services to fulfill a program consisting of about 32,000 square feet of commercial and restaurant space, 30 residential units, an 85-room hotel, a Yacht Club, 98 boat slips including 10 charter boat slips, and 300 parking spaces to support the project.

Renaissance Village Renaissance Village is a 21-acre planned development. The site program includes over 586,000 square feet of gross building area, including 205,000 square feet of commercial and civic space and 288 residential units. The master plan would enhance vehicular and pedestrian connectivity. Symbolic gateways at each corner of the project would define entries and generate interest, while a dedicated public open space would provide a greenway for public use. The central core plaza would feature a majestic fountain as the focal point, allowing clear views into the core from the street to showcase the project and the commercial tenants.

Above the residential parking levels, the main buildings feature landscaped amenity decks that provide pool and relaxation areas for residents..

The plan includes 228 multi-family and 22 single-family units and a unique clubhouse with a resort-style pool. PK Studios provided the community concept development and branding, master planning, architectural theme design, and landscape design. Through market research and knowledge, we guided the client to develop a project with island charm consisting of an abundance of amenities, outdoor living spaces, and timeless, authentic materials. The community was divided into neighborhoods with complimentary qualities but unique identities, including the main entry and iconic tower, an amenity core, the lagoon cottages, the “Residences at Grace Bay,” and the “Residences at Windward.” The entire community had a united signage, landscape, hardscape and aesthetic plan, creating a high-quality, relaxing, and island-inspired lifestyle.

The community is designed to be highly environmentally friendly, maintaining natural buffers and vegetation. The site runoff is connected to a filter marsh system that would cleanse runoff water before it is discharged into the river. The main feature of the plan is a large public gathering area for shows, art galleries, exhibitions, and music. The gathering space is visible from the main arterial road and would generate a substantial amount of interest from the public, as well as create a great attraction for residents of the community.

Treviso Bay The Treviso Bay master planning project is a conceptual site plan design for a 7.3 acre commercial site accommodating 85,000 square feet of commercial area. The client’s main goals were to maximize the rentable area on the site, to create a strong connection with the residential community under construction behind the site, to step away from the typical strip mall mentality and create a more village-like feel, and to create a commercial center that was friendly to pedestrian traffic. An additional goal was to maintain a visual corridor to an existing multi-million dollar bridge that serves at the entrance to the residential community and a primary design feature for showcasing the community to passing traffic.

83

Bonita Village The Bonita Village mixed-use development includes a restaurant, office and retail spaces, and luxury residences overlooking a large open plaza. Two additional phases include a hotel site, and a second mixed-use retail center with multiple residences. Urban design services provided to the client included site analysis and master planning of the overall site, and detailed plans for features such as the public plaza in the commercial marketplace. Once master planned, the architectural team began work on individual structures, beginning with the proposed commercial center. Buildings were designed to be complimentary to each other and the existing residential village behind the marketplace. Incorporation of interior design services allowed for the seamless design of buildings such as the 150-seat restaurant.

City of Naples Urban Park Two studies were performed in order to create an urban park on a vacant 21 acre parcel in downtown Naples. Linkage diagrams illustrated vehicular and pedestrian connections from the 5th Avenue district to the proposed Naples Greenway, Naples Bay, and Tin City. Both studies integrated the historic Naples Depot with the design of the park. The parks program would consist of multiuse open areas, fountains, pavilions, and recreational fields along with mixed use commercial.

Promenade Players The Promenade Players site studies are preliminary concepts for a 300-seat public arts theatre, located in a busy commercial center.

The existing center features approximately 150,000 square feet of commercial space, and the new theatre would add an additional 40,000 square feet. Two alternative schemes for different portions of the site were provided. The first site located the theater on the north side of the shops, and necessitated the addition of a parking structure to maintain adequate parking for the adjacent health services building. The second site located the theatre near a large lake, and enabled a clear visual connection to the major intersection of two arterial roads. This location enabled the design to take on a curvilinear and organic form with a large terrace for outdoor events that would overlook the lake.
