Born in the industrial age, the city of Whiting, Indiana, once a thriving steel mill town, has experienced changing demographics and aging infrastructure.  With our help, Whiting is redefining itself with an eye toward tradition and history.

The first phase is the redevelopment of a neighborhood adjacent to the downtown business district.  Streetscape elements were introduced to carry the small town atmosphere throughout the neighborhood and maintain a comfortable pedestrian scale.

A mixed density plan was proposed for new housing that takes advantage of minimal setback and side yards to create a classic "row house" charm for both single family and apartment dwellings that are appropriate for the downtown proximity.  We are currently working with the City of Whiting on a variety of similar infill redevelopment plans to create a more unified and unique city landscape.
