COMMUNITY DESIGN > Place-craft blocks

Make good blocks

Each prototypical block is intentionally human scaled, with the longest edge five minute leisurely stroll for the average adult.  Taking a cue from historical block design patterns, each block is about 240' x 360' and totals 2 acres. Each block is designed to be dense and incorporate community design strategies that are not typically seen in typical single family neighborhoods - such as mid-block mews, parks, or mixed uses.  Blocks are designed to be integrated with a series of people-centered streetscapes: Place-Craft Streets.
