Clark's Grove
Covington, Georgia
Majority Completed
TSW was retained to implement the initial phases of an ambitious
master plan developed for the town of Covington by
Duany Plater-Zyberk. The new mixed-use neighborhood of
Clark’s Grove contains 330 units on 68 acres in a
variety of price points and housing types ranging from apartments
to live/work units to small-lot single family dwellings.
This infill neighborhood is centered on a new Montessori
School and community swim club, within a walkable distance
of all homes. Bike trail/greenway linkages connect residents
to the extensive recreational amenities of nearby Turner Lake
Regional Park and the retail amenities of Covington town
square a mile away.
The school and live/work building, conceived by TSW, enfront
a formal square which will serve as the neighborhood’s
civic center. The architecture for Clark’s Grove will be based
upon local southern vernacular styles found in the Covington
area.

Glenwood Park
Atlanta, Georgia
Majority Completed
Glenwood Park, a development by Green Street Properties, is a
new neighborhood based on new urbanism concepts. Located
in East Atlanta, an area of the metro area offering affordable
housing, Glenwood Park is one of many recent projects adding
new energy to the existing community. The project, located
on the old Blue Circle Concrete plant, reknits the urban fabric,
tying together older residential areas and neighborhoods along
Memorial Drive to the other side of I-20.
Within the development, one will find single-family homes,
townhouses, flats over townhouses, multifamily units over
retail and office space, and live/work units. All of the housing
will be within a five-minute walk of retail, restaurants, and
office space.
TSW began work on Glenwood Park during the conceptual
phase and has continued to provide vision and direction for the
development with updates of the master plan, zoning conditions,
and by providing complete architectural services for the
West Bartram Townhomes.

Vickery
Cumming, Georgia
Majority Completed
The Vickery Plan was originated by the well-known firm of
Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. After conducting a one-week
charrette, Hedgewood Properties hired TSW for the purpose
of carrying the plan forward from concept to implementation.
Covering 210-acres, the Vickery project is made up of a town
center, with a YMCA and library as focal points, retail and
work/live units. One of the first civic buildings to be built is
the Fire Station designed by TSW architect, Jerry Spangler.
TSW has worked on all aspects of the project, from master
planning through to details, such as street patterns and street
widths. In addition, TSW has determined, along with the
Owners, building setbacks and placement and has also assisted
in developing the theme of the community.

Manget Street
Marietta, Georgia
Under Construction
One of the keys to a successful infill
revitalization plan is its ability to respect
context while minimizing liabilities. This
is especially true when the neighborhood
surrounding an infill site developed
without many of the amenities that
today’s residents expect. In the case of
the Manget Street property, out-of-character
quadruplexes are surrounded by a
neighborhood of simple homes from the
1940s. The area lacks parks or a comprehensive
sidewalk system. The most current
structures on the site lack character
and reinforce a negative perception of the
neighborhood, in spite of strengths that
include location, street grid, and overall
neighborhood structure.
TSW’s proposed site plan utilizes a new
urbanist approach to remedy key challenges,
while building on strengths to benefit both the development and the
surrounding neighborhood. By creating a
plan that focuses on respecting neighborhood scale, character, and natural resources the plan utilizes the basic building blocks
of a community – the interplay between public and private realms – to create a superior design and sense of place.
