FABRIC DESIGN+DEVELOPMENT

WE’RE AN URBAN FABRIC REPAIR SHOP FOCUSED ON NEW URBANISM, SUSTAINABILITY, AND BUILDING RESILIENT COMMUNITIES. WE BRIDGE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT TO DELIVER PLACES PEOPLE LOVE, WISE WITH RESOURCES, RICH IN PUBLIC LIFE, AND ROOTED IN REAL MARKETS. OUR WORK RANGES FROM URBAN AND ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TO PRE-DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS, FEASIBILITY STUDIES, FINANCIAL MODELING, AND PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT. WE SERVE CITIES AND MUNICIPALITIES PURSUING SUSTAINABLE VISIONS AND WALKABLE STREETS, SMALL AND MID-SCALE DEVELOPERS AND LANDOWNERS WHO SEEK STRONG DESIGN AND PUBLIC SUPPORT, AND NEIGHBORHOODS IN NEED OF ADAPTIVE REUSE AND REVITALIZATION. OUR APPROACH IS INCREMENTAL AND PLACE-LED, LEARNING FROM CONTEXT AND COMMUNITY. WE BALANCE FINANCIAL RETURN WITH PUBLIC GOOD, WORKING WITH MATERIALS, INFRASTRUCTURE, AND DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES THAT ARE DURABLE, ADAPTABLE, AND RESILIENT. CITIES BUILT WITHOUT CARE FOR HUMAN SCALE, SUSTAINABILITY, AND RESILIENT INFRASTRUCTURE RISK HEAVY MAINTENANCE, DISCONNECTED COMMUNITIES, AND NEGLECTED PUBLIC SPACES. AT FABRIC, WE BELIEVE REPAIR IS THE NEW DEVELOPMENT. STRONG INFRASTRUCTURE ISN’T JUST ROADS AND WIRES, IT’S PATTERN, WALKABILITY, ECOLOGY, AND SOCIAL GLUE. WE DESIGN FOR THAT.
