With an anticipated completion of this Fall, the interiors of Hanover Riverwalk in Fort Lauderdale, Florida has us dreaming of warmer days at a lavish resort. ? The refined finish palette consists of natural stones, textural wallcoverings, balancing light woods against glinting champagne metals. The diamond matched stone feature wall and custom full height decorative screens evoke grandeur. Expansive amenities include a work-from-home suite with private offices, an entertaining salon with telescoping doors for private events, a state of the art fitness center, a media lounge, and so much more.?

Meet Bala Cynwyd, this 6-story mixed-use multi-family building by Hanover Company in Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania is under construction and anticipates completion early to mid-2027. At 390,700 GSF, the building will have 426 units, about 20,000 GSF of retail, and will be pursuing certification with National Green Building Standard (NGBS). Stay tuned for more updates!

New Project Alert! Late last year, the Design Collective team was selected to provide consulting services for a comprehensive Facilities Master Plan for Chesapeake College in Wye Mills, Maryland. The facilities master plan will document the institutional goals and objectives, facilities projections, and capital requirements for the College over the next ten years, and land use over the next twenty years. Our team is getting ready to survey existing buildings and document conditions and expect to deliver the new plan by this Fall.?

Please join us in a round of applause for our colleague, Erin Socha, for passing the ARE exams and officially becoming a registered architect! Erin is based in our Chicago office and has played an instrumental role on Graduate Student Housing for Meritus Health in Hagerstown, MD. Additionally, she’s an integral member of the team reimagining housing at the University of Idaho in Moscow, ID. Way to go Erin!

Design Collective Promotes One New Senior Associate and Three New Associates.

Design Collective Inc. is pleased to announce the promotion of two new Principals.

Design Collective is proud to partner with Gilbane Development Company, Lydig Construction, and INTEGRUS to reimagine housing at the University of Idaho's Moscow campus. Together with university stakeholders, we developed a comprehensive Student Housing Masterplan to rethink the campus's housing stock for current and future needs, in support of the university’s strategic objectives to enhance recruitment, retention, and quality of life. The first phase of this masterplan, the recently approved South Hill Apartments, is envisioned as a vibrant "village" designed to house single graduate students and students and faculty with families. Here’s what makes this project unique: Community-Centered Design: Open spaces form the heart of the village fostering connections and recreation.? Preserving Nature: The placement of new buildings celebrates the site's mature trees, ensuring they remain as focal points for the community. Contextual Architecture: Roof forms draw inspiration from the surrounding mountains, contextualizing the architecture within its natural environment.? Walkability & Wellness: Parking is thoughtfully distributed to encourage use of walkable, bikeable pathways, promoting a health-conscious and sustainable community. We are honored to contribute to the university’s vision and can’t wait to see the impact this project will have on student and faculty life! #DesignCollective #UniversityofIdaho #CampusHousing #SustainableDesign #CommunityBuilding

Happy Holidays and a Healthy 2025 from your friends at Design Collective.

It's been a busy couple of weeks as the holidays approach, here are a few things our team members have been up to. On Monday, our interiors studio participated in the 28th Annual We Care event, a fun event where children from the Boys & Girls Club of Baltimore crafted holiday gifts for their families, teachers, and friends. A huge thank you to MillerKnoll for organizing this event that positively impacts the lives of so many across the country. Last night, Cecily Bedwell participated in ULI Baltimore's UrbanPlan Fall 2024 Session Wrap-Up, where Honors College students at UMBC showcased their innovative plans to a mock city council. For those not familiar with UrbanPlan, their mission is elevate the conversation among local stakeholders in land use decisions by educating tomorrow's voters, neighbors, community leaders, public officials and land use professionals to build better communities. #volunteer
