Telling the story of Cooke Street Cooke Street  | The Cooke Street neighborhood, located in
historic downtown Raleigh, had fallen victim to absentee landlords, unmaintained
homes, vacant lots, and crime. The City
of Raleigh's Community Development Department acted as the master planner to
revitalize this neighborhood. Utilizing ideals of conservation land-planning,
lots were re-organized to create density and to integrate a public
greenway. Affordable, owner occupied
single-family homes were sustainably designed with contextual historic
character and the 'eyes on the street' concept.
Invite David Maurer to speak at your state housing conference or visit the upcoming North Carolina or Virginia Housing Conferences to discover how the Cooke Street Development holistically addresses the needs
of affordability, sustainability, energy efficiency, and community as a
thriving model for the future.

Historic Infill Housing Bloodworth Street  | TightLines Designs have built as infill housing in many
National Historic Districts. We have witnessed numerous success stories with
this development model. Older homes get renovated, absentee landlords
sell to owner occupants, crime is reduced, and affordable housing is
provided. Since our homes are historically inspired, from form through
detail, many fit seamlessly into the context of the neighborhood. In
fact, many TightLines houses have been approved for new
construction in National Historic Districts, and we will gladly work
with you in seeking any required approvals. If you don't see a TightLines Design suitable for your neighborhood, we can work with you to provide an appropriate new home design. |
