 Partnered with Laquatra Bonci and UDA, 4SITE was commissioned to design the Master Plan and design guidelines of this 400 acre mountain top community. Reminiscent of traditional southern villages, the plan called for a
relaxed twist to a typical New Urbanism approach by designing simple, curved streets with broad lawn verges that fit the topography, preserving the many large mature trees, and requiring landscape details such as picket fences that help evoke a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The Ledges contain a mixture of housing types, from town homes at the village green, to large estate homes surrounding a beautiful golf course. Houses are detailed to emulate the historic examples found in adjacent towns, and all are within walking  distance of the many community green spaces. The plateau is defined by rugged, rock escarpments that provide a breathtaking setting. This unique landscape, combined with a relaxed southern design philosophy, give The Ledges a unique charm.
