The Grove

The Grove is a dynamic new neighborhood of townhomes in Durham, North Carolina, just south of the bustling City Center. The project is situated around a series of neighborhood mews that serve as green connectors and extended front porches for residents. Pedestrians and front doors are privileged and cars separated from pedestrian on shared slow street driveways. 

Steep topography and an environmentally sensitive site led DBA to design the project around a continuous ‘green loop’ accessible by nearly all units. Townhomes address both street and mews sides for an active street life on all edges
