ADD Inc led a planning and design process aimed at helping the city fulfill its vision to create a vibrant urban core while upholding its environmental stewardship objectives. The project is a Smart Growth master plan that integrates residential, office, retail, hotel and open spaces. To establish a more pedestrian-oriented town center, the master plan creates purposeful and engaging green spaces, including walking trails in a community park, waterfront dining along a canal and an artist walk. Green roofs, green screens, solar control devices, cistern water storage and water quality systems further support Coconut Creek’s ambitious environmental agenda. Environmentally responsible and architecturally exciting, the proposed Village at Marbella will transform an industrial/agricultural site into a lively town center. Archstone North Point—Archstone North Point stands at the intersection of two great cities. This exceptional location offers the opportunity to blend the allure of a downtown Boston lifestyle with a new rental community situated comfortably in its Cambridge surroundings. The design team organized the massing to capture stunning views of the Boston skyline while creating lively new urban spaces for the local community. Supporting a Smart Growth development strategy, the design choreographs green spaces, interior plazas and pathways linking the project to public transportation and adjacent amenities. Residents will enjoy a luxurious amenity package, including a pool house, rooftop terrace, concierge service, click cafe, fitness center, and a screening room that will establish the standard for future residential development in the evolving North Point neighborhood.
