The Village on the Bluff’s team of architects and designer were recognized by the Urban Guild with a Merit Award for Middle Missing Housing! When David Kim let me know that he, Bruce Tolar, and John Anderson were going to receive the award, I was elated for our them and also for the Town of Thunderbolt.
The town’s overlay district is allowing more creative development to transpire. The overlay district allows for more common sense development that, if designed correctly, keeps you out of the variance cycle that kills so many real estate projects (and so, so many brain cells!).
The awards were given out in November in the absolute stunning new urban community of Habersham, South Carolina. The community was designed by Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co., one of my grad school day idols. I was able to attend the day’s celebration including a walking tour by many of the architects, builders of adus, and the developer. It was an amazing opportunity and a perfect day to engage and recharge my batteries.
