Waterfronts + Urban Centers
Knoxville South Waterfront
Master Plan
Divided from the north side of downtown by steep topography and the Tennessee River, South Knoxville has been dominated by industrial uses for over a century. Three miles of riverfront contain a mix of both active and abandoned heavy industrial uses, restricting adjacent neighborhoods and the public from accessing and enjoying the river. A series of open space windows orient new development perpendicular to the water while three parallel ribbons differentiate pedestrian, car and future light rail corridors. Five distinct neighborhoods nested within the study area require varying degrees of density and building typology dictated through a Form-Based Code, rewriting the existing zoning for the 300 acre area.

Knoxville South Waterfront
Form Based Code
Rezoning for active and former industrial lands to allow for a broad range of building typologies and uses to guide the Master Plan towards implementation. The three-mile length of riverfront was divided into seven districts. District densities addressed the relationships to adjacent neighborhoods and appropriate densities identified based on market absorption. Particular care was given to negotiating terrain changes and fostering relationships to existing residential areas. View corridors and the preservation of natural systems codify unique landscape features and open space design principles with building form. Multiple public meetings included stakeholder participation in the planning of the rezoning which was unanimously adopted by the City Council and represented one of the largest rezoning of industrial lands in the country.

Tampa Port
Redevelopment Plan
Planning for 30-acre property at the terminus of a shipping channel from heavy industrial to high density residential and commercial activity. The target residential density of 3,000 units and requisite parking are strategically dispersed to maximize views to the water and downtown. Major parking structures are sited adjacent to the elevated freeway and lined with townhouse developments along the water’s edge. A waterfront promenade is incorporated into the site and extended by manipulating the bulkhead line along the channel.

Dallas
Downtown Parks Master Plan
The absence of dedicated green space and a prevalence of surface parking lots diminishes the character of the pedestrian experience downtown. Open space opportunities are sought to catalyze redevelopment and create a stronger sense of place. Design and development criteria evaluate and identify underutilized properties within the highway loop that will most benefit from redevelopment. Three strategic sites of various sizes are selected within the core to provide downtown districts with a corresponding new park. Selected streets are targeted for reinvestment to create an open space network and link the districts together.

Richardson Olmsted Complex
Master Plan
The 19th century Richardson Olmsted Complex, a former Insane Asylum, is a National Historic Landmark in Buffalo, NY. It is also a ruin. The site’s reuse is being driven by $76 million in New York State funds that are being used to leverage private development.
The Master Plan assesses the H.H. Richardson-design buildings and Fredrick Law Olmsted-designed park, adjacent neighborhoods and – together with an inclusive public process – creates a plan for the near and long term rehabilitation of the site. With the right combination of uses, a landmark facility like the Richardson Olmsted Complex has sufficient scale and magnitude to become an economic destination of more than local significance.
