The East Tennessee Design Center Housing Proposal envisions a cohesive community that seamlessly integrates residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. By combining modern housing options, captivating garden spaces, a lively park, and convenient retail areas, this proposal creates an inviting and enriching environment that nurtures a strong sense of belonging and fosters a thriving community spirit.

This transformative project presents a harmonious blend of apartments, townhomes, lush garden spaces, a vibrant park, and convenient retail areas, all thoughtfully integrated to create a dynamic and livable community. The residential component of this proposal offers a diverse range of housing options, including modern apartments and charming townhomes. Designed with a focus on comfort and functionality, these residences provide a welcoming haven for individuals and families alike, catering to different lifestyles and needs. Central to the proposal is a vibrant park that serves as a focal point for recreation, relaxation, and social gatherings. The park acts as a hub for residents to engage in healthy outdoor activities while forging lasting memories within a shared natural setting. Complementing the residential and recreational aspects, the proposal also includes strategically placed retail spaces. These convenient and carefully curated areas offer a variety of amenities and services, creating a vibrant hub where residents can access daily essentials, enjoy dining experiences, and explore unique retail offerings, all within walking distance of their homes.
