Park Ridge
Our clients sought a site for their new corporate office with a clear goal: to enhance the character and fabric of the existing neighborhood while accommodating the expanding business needs. To support a well-informed decision, we developed multiple site design options, illustrating the advantages, constraints, and potential opportunities of two prospective locations. This process allowed the client to confidently select the optimal site and move forward with a vision that balanced community impact with projected cost.
A historic feature of one of the prospective project sites is the Sullivan House (c.1840), a contributing structure to the Welborn Historic District. Our design approach prioritized preservation and integration of the house within the broader campus, ensuring its historic character is maintained while enhancing its visibility and relevance. Surrounding mature trees, multiple buildings, and antique iron fencing contribute to a sense of place that evokes a public park, offering both employees and the community a visually rich, pedestrian-friendly environment.
The project demonstrates how thoughtful site planning can harmonize new construction with historic preservation, creating a campus that is functional, attractive, and contextually sensitive. By combining modern office needs with careful stewardship of historic resources, the project honors the neighborhood’s legacy while contributing to its ongoing vitality.
