Renaissance Square

Renaissance Square transformed an 18-acre site in Maryland into a walkable, mixed-income neighborhood of single-family homes and townhomes. The county launched the project through a community-led design process, and a planning firm developed the master plan and pattern book that set the neighborhood's character.

​

Working within that pattern book, we designed the neighborhood's single-family homes and townhomes. Front porches, gables and dormers draw on the traditional character of the surrounding communities, and every home was built to green building standards that help keep energy costs down. The Cottage and Manor homes each earned a Max Award for Best Livability.

I continued working on the project for several years, seeing it through as the neighborhood grew phase by phase.
