Stonebridge
Hawthorn Woods, IL

Senior Urban Designer for the 45 acre site, with 60 Single-Family residential lots. Design of the property is inspired by the namesake, stone bridge which welcomes residents and guests into the neighborhood’s winding street design offering private lots with impressive views of the community’s natural surroundings and parks. The neighborhood is hidden in a formerly wooded area which allowed for the preservation of a substantial buffer of existing trees from the neighboring uses. Natural stormwater detention areas wrap the perimeter of the site offering an efficient land plan with lot premiums for units with views of the wet basins. The signature moment in the land plan occurs in the western neighborhood where lots are spun around a one-acre community green. Frontage on this green provides additional lot premiums with views overlooking an active play area and space for community gathering and events.
