Clarksville Commons

This project is for the first two structures for a large scale redevelopment of an abandoned school site in the heart of Clarksville, Maryland. Organized around a dynamic central court are two structures totaling 52,000SF that combine retail with an upper level restaurant. Designed to recall the rural character of western Howard County but with a more modern twist, the buildings will achieve a high level of sustainability. Some of the green elements become substantial design themes like the canted green roof facing Clarksville Pike as well as cedar clad cisterns integrated into both buildings. The central court is to be programed with multiple events and will ultimately form the head of a main avenue of mixed use buildings extending back into the site.
