Conceptual Design Plan

The conceptual plan for English woods focuses on improving connectivity by establishing new roads, diversifying land uses to create more activity and a greater mix of living options, and aims to retain the neighborhoods hilltop appeal.

Living

A complete community

What resulted from much research, design and revision was a new English Woods made for the community. An emphasis on resources and diversified land uses help make the English Woods more adaptable and created an asset for the community. The West Side of Cincinnati has gone through many changes, the changes made for English Woods hope to rebuild a lost community and help existing residents find stable housing. Many project housing developments create cold spaces, this development offers a new look at how large housing developments can intertwine with the community and become a place residents want to live, not forced to live.
