Metro North CDC Masterplan
Location: Jacksonville, FL
Client: Metro North Community Development Corporation
The VIA Concepts team designed a new master plan and exterior improvements to the existing derelict Notter Avenue Apartment Complex. The existing buildings were in good condition structurally but in need of both interior and exterior improvements. A new color scheme was devised as well as new entryway covers between the buildings. CPTED (Crime Prevention through Environmental Design) concepts were incorporated into the design; for example a knee wall was designed to allow for security while still allowing the buildings to look inviting and open. Additionally, the areas around the buildings were redesigned to include more green space, a playground for children, and a community garden.
