@urbanergonomics There's likely not a more thoughtful infill development in America. Every inch is meticulously considered, with exacting standards. @witoldr 's exceptional Charleston Fancy details part of the story. For anyone interested in development, design, and cities, this is a must read.

@urbanergonomics @witoldr It's well worth reading through the development's manifesto (here:) to get a fuller sense of the mission of the project. Namely, creating more authentic places that are designed for longevity with craftsmanship, community, and livability in mind.

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics Thank you for making me aware of this amazing project. @urbanergonomics , will DM in hopes you’ll connect.

@djh11375 @urbanergonomics It’s really a remarkable project. I’d highly recommend Charleston fancy! It gives great perspective on the whole process and a behind the scenes look

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics Amazing. You rock

@simcha_ward @urbanergonomics Thanks for the kind words Simcha, but send that praise on over to those who built this! Their work should celebrated, and hopefully inspire future projects like it!

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics One of my regrets is NOT going to work for Andrew Gould, who is the architect of this great place and so many others. He's got a real talent for making small places work so well and to use fun materials and colors but still be serious.

@ErikBootsma @urbanergonomics His work is terrific. I’m glad there are people like him out there designing places like these because it’s really needed. All of the architects on this project are remarkable, but of course one can only work in one place at a time!

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics Our development team visited Catfiddle last year as a precedent for our last phase in east Beach ( Norfolk, Va),- Reid Burgess gave us a tour. It is a masterpiece of urban planning.

@bellrock9 @urbanergonomics I can only imagine what an experience that must’ve been! I’ve followed East Beach as well and think it’s likewise an exceptional project - very well done!!

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics This is new construction?! No way. I don't believe it.

@MkeMontavius @urbanergonomics New construction built in the last 5 years or so! Pretty remarkable

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics Pretty incredible. I’m fairly certain this wouldn’t be possible in my town or most around me which is sad

@CleKooimanFan @urbanergonomics It’s technically illegal everywhere. They had to go through a special process with the city (might have condo’ed it out?). Through much back and forth, this beautiful work has been realized. It’s a testament to good design, hard work, conviction, & ridiculousness of public codes

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics

@PlanningAutumn @urbanergonomics This was the response I was looking for 😂

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics How did they get away with building this? Seems illegal

@llsamueljames @urbanergonomics There was a lot of back and forth & diligent work with the city, which was profiled in the book Charleston Fancy. It’s possible to create PUDs with site plans like this, but requires great care & time working hand and hand with city

@Cobylefko @urbanergonomics What are organic homes?

@youngdrum @urbanergonomics Organic places, so not built to an end state with rigidity, sterility, and an overall coldness that most new developments tend to have. Organic is more lived in, with imperfect angles, pathways, grooves and quirks that you only find in places built and lived in over time
