CBA is a philosophy-forward employee owned firm built on the idea of creating positive impact in the world through architecture, land planning, and placemaking.
PHILOSOPHY=
PURPOSE + PROCESS
Master visioning and conscientious land planning are essential to building successful communities. Placemaking is the localization of the story; it must inspire the vision of a tangible place accessible to people. It’s up to us as planners to create constructible communities that are resilient and considerate of our neighbors and natural context. Our land planning philosophy is rooted in a holistic and forward-thinking approach to managing land and urban development. Community well-being, environmental protection, and economic growth must be balanced to create resilient communities, not only for today, but for future generations. The passion for placemaking drives us to create livable communities based on a rich tapestry of cultures, experiences, and individuals.

Lyric at Norton Commons What do you get when you mix retail, residential, and 11’ of site drop within a TND community? That’s a challenge CBA tackled with Lyric at Norton Commons in Louisville, Kentucky. As a mixed-use development with 12,000 sf of retail within the Norton Commons TND complex, it was crucial to achieve connection to the street level without the use of steps. Similarly, a 5-level pre-cast parking garage with exits at common levels would need to connect both the residents and retail. Our solution came in the form of breaking the building up into cleverly designed, hidden splits. This allowed us to respond to changes in grade internally while preserving a unified exte-
rior appearance. The preferable wood structure construction type was maintained, resulting in significant cost savings. Multiple courtyards provide residents with gathering areas, each with a unique vibe and purpose. The connection walkway between the two larger courtyards crosses an elevation shift, so we used this to create a residential theater with elevated stadium-type seating. Throughout the community, adaptive thinking and structural coordination turned what could have been irregular or unused spaces into positives that could only be achieved with this unique site. Finally, the outstanding ownership group made sure all areas of the project were reviewed in detail and well thought out.

Parkside Parkside is a 6-story Mixed-Use community built along First Avenue South, adjacent to the award-winning 19-acre green space known as Railroad Park. Just south of downtown Birmingham, the culturally rich neighborhood is a bustling home to recreation, events, and concerts. Parkside fulfills the valuable need for living and retail space with a design that celebrates the industrial and artistic heritage of this great city. The architecture suggests a blending of historic and modern design sensibilities by incorporating diverse surface textures, with tactile bricks transitioning to sleek vertical forms. The courtyards and club amenities are centrally placed above two levels of parking, and by doing so, the building massing is

The 5-story residential component is built out of wood construction with an exacting level of quality and attention to detail, offering a high-end architectural solution that fits well into its urban setting.

ARCOS ARCOS was designed to support Sarasota’s ambitious downtown master plan and Rosemary District redevelopment program. Situated in the region’s core, ARCOS is a key piece of the neighborhood’s emphasis on walkability, with a Walk Score of 96 and a rising Bike Score of 72. The design required 3,500 sq.ft. of retail and 8,000 sq.ft. for community amenities, resulting in an expansive, inviting ground floor full of bustling activity and the potential to transform into future retail opportunities as needed. ARCOS makes a bold architectural statement with its contemporary Dutch West Indies style. Considerable thought went into designing the exciting façade, utilizing chamfered

This sectional approach serves another purpose, shortening the block visually to embody a pedestrian-friendly urbanist quality. The site presented the challenge of a 5’ elevation drop from end to end, requiring compensation to provide level entries to access points. Inside, the design was inspired by classic, beautiful hotels and voluminous train stations; a grand nostalgic experience viewed through modern interpretation. ARCOS is even home to an on-site art gallery on the ground floor that hosts international and local artists, contributing to Sarasota’s vibrant and diverse cultural identity.

Camden North Quarter Camden North Quarter is a 9-story mixed use project within walking distance of Orlando’s Central Station SunRail commuter train hub. Before development, the land sat vacant as the owner originally planned to construct an office building. However, as the economy began to grind to a near halt during the Great Recession, plans changed. When the economy recovered, a new downtown Orlando neighborhood emerged: the North Quarter. Camden filled a crucial missing piece in the new district, with a dramatic and unique design. A portion of the ground floor includes 8,000 square feet of retail space, including a corner restaurant with outdoor seating opportunities on the leading edge of the building, as Orange Ave is a one-way street.
One of the most dramatic features of this project is the placement of the swimming pool and clubhouse on the 9th floor. The clubhouse offers large glass walls facing west towards Walt Disney World and opposing walls facing east towards the Florida Atlantic Coast and Cape Kennedy. As we design structures, we always think about how people will interact with the buildings where they live and work, which in turn leads us to placemaking. In the case of Camden North Quarter, this manifests as a small oasis of nature and human interaction within the larger surrounding urban environment. These pockets of relaxation and well-being are instrumental in creating communities where residents want to stay and spend their time.

930 Central Flats 930 Central Flats is an attractive urban luxury mixed-use community that was designed to meet exacting city standards. This mid-rise project in St. Petersburg, Florida is a stylish, contemporary development that feels fresh and exciting. The building’s architectural design complements the surrounding Edge District, a vibrant award-winning Florida Main Street with eclectic and historic character. 930 Central Flats is a combination of apartments, retail, and townhouse units. Among its many features, 930 Central Flats is home to a comprehensive state-of-the-art two-story fitness center, dog spa, and a rooftop garden overlooking Central Avenue.
The project is a true Live, Work, & Play community, with dedicated outdoor social spaces, a yoga mezzanine, a South Beach inspired pool with surrounding sun decks, and over 3,500 sf of ground level retail, dining, and entertainment. Parking is conveniently located behind and below the retail. To meet rigorous downtown standards, 930 Central Flats was required to pass a multi-step architectural review procedure. This collaborative process between our design team, the client, and the city resulted in creative and refreshing architecture designed to stand the test of time. As such, 930 Central Flats was honored with the 2019 Silver Aurora Award for Best Mixed Use Project from the SEBC.

The Georgetown The Georgetown, nestled in the heart of Rosemary Beach, Florida, is a thoughtfully-designed mixed-use building that serves as the finishing touch of the community’s downtown district. This four-story structure is comprised of nine residences and over 4,000 square feet of prime retail space. Designed in a tropical interpretation of Dutch West Indies architecture, these luxury condominiums seamlessly integrate into the meticulously planned urban landscape. The architectural vocabulary of The Georgetown adheres to stringent guidelines, ensuring it harmonizes flawlessly with its neighbors. The building overlooks a public square, and an intriguing challenge lay in its height: it needed to appear as a
three-story structure when, in fact, it stretches to four. Our solution utilizes a false roof line below the fourth-floor windows, along with sections of unbroken wall planes spanning the bottom three floors. These elements combined create the intended appearance, maintaining the aesthetic continuity. The Georgetown is artfully blended into Rosemary Beach, the intricately-planned community designed by DPZ CoDesign. The 107-acre site along the Gulf of Mexico combines New Urbanism principles, emphasizing walkability and design at the human scale. Rosemary Beach is known for its brick-lined sidewalks, expansive verdant spaces, inspired architecture, boardwalks, cobblestone streets, and walkable town center.

Tapestry Park Tapestry Park is an urban village concept that combines traditional yet chic apartments and townhomes interlaced with boutique shops, office spaces, retail services, and popular eateries. A key part of this project’s success is its infusion of Tattersall Tapestry Park throughout all aspects of the design. Tapestry Park occupies 18 acres and has been sculpted into a mixed-use village that blends the lifestyle of Northern Florida with a European influence. The village has 40,000 square feet of retail and restaurants with 16,000 square feet of office space. Finally, a 96-room business traveler boutique hotel sits at the end of Main Street, along the lake. Residents can choose between the 52 townhomes mixed over and around
the retail, or the 274 apartments with views of the lake or courtyards. Tattersall at Tapestry Park is a 4-story for-rent community within the larger Tapestry Park urban village concept. The 4-story parking garage is fully naturally ventilated, with 20% of the exterior fully exposed with architectural design aesthetics and 80% facing a mix of single- and double-loaded corridors. This beautiful, forward-thinking project was the recipient of the 2014 Grand Aurora Award for Best Mixed-Use Under 100 acres.

Port Orange Riverwalk The Port Orange Riverwalk is an extensive plan currently in development to revitalize the city’s riverwalk region, transforming it into a vibrant mixed-use residential, retail, and public space. Incorporating a strong focus on placemaking, the property is comprised of multifamily residential, retail with flats, an incubator business space, structured and surface parking, and a public riverwalk that connects to existing nature trails. The wide range of typologies will include apartments, townhomes, and flats. Not only will it appeal to a greater demographic diversity, it is also designed to attract resi-
dents throughout different life phases. At the ground level, retail and restaurant destinations will activate the street and public riverwalk. An additional incubator space is set aside to accommodate entrepreneurs who are testing retail concepts, a proven strategy in attracting interesting new concepts that can graduate to longer-term status. To provide an energetic riverfront experience, a public riverwalk is proposed to run along the entire eastern edge of the property. This provides a vital connection to the river for citizens
of Port Orange and enhances the viability of the retail space that is part of the development. A portion of this is intended to be designated as a festival street, able to be closed to automobile traffic and used for events such as arts festivals, music events, food festivals, and similar activities. Overall, the proposed project will benefit the city by providing a network of well-connected multi-use public spaces, enhancing the quality of existing destinations resulting in a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

RoseArts District We are actively reimagining a concept for a brand new Planned Urban Development master plan in what is currently an unused golf course in Orlando’s Rosemont neighborhood. This project tackles the challenge of taking dormant, previously developed land and transforming it into a beautiful area with sophisticated lifestyle amenities, unique experiences, and true walkable convenience. The RoseArts District is designed to be inclusive, inspirational, and sustainable with 64 acres of green space. The arrival experience is home to an activated community commercial center, bringing vitally needed retail and services to the forefront of the district.
As residents and guests make their way to the lakefront, treelined streets and greenspaces co-mingle with upscale residences and the vibe fluidly changes from upbeat to relaxed. This reimagining is projected to include up to 2,000 linear feet of waterfront, up to 12,000 linear feet of new trails, dedicated bike and walking paths, and dynamic retail and culinary opportunities. The RoseArts District is located inside one of Orlando’s 12 Opportunity Zones, which carries tax incentives for long-term investment and lays the healthy foundation for a prosperous future for Rosemont.
