New Urbanism
Geertsma Homes proudly presents Augusta Green the New Urbanism concept that is sweeping across the Ontario landscape. Augusta Green takes the best of yesteryear that has stood the test of time and adds our legacy of today's technical advances, making up your New Urbanism community.
New Urbanism communities take time-honored elements of older neighborhoods to make suburbs better places to live. The homes are positioned closer to the road with large front porches to encourage community interaction. The Garages are at the rear and accessible by a separate laneway. The tree lined streets, well manicured lawns, and homes are designed to create a harmonious streetscape.
New Urbanism communities are enhanced with Architectural Design Guidelines. The goals of these Architectural Guidelines are:
- To establish a recognizable preferred identity for the Neighbourhood;
- To produce a comprehensively designed new residential neighbourhood providing a high level of visual quality within the public realm urban spaces.
The objectives of the guidelines are to:
- Provide guidance for the builders in designing the development as a comprehensively planned neighbourhood.
- Establish design standards which will result in finished streetscapes that are attractive and integrated within their environment.
"It's good to come home" to Augusta Green where you'll enjoy large front porches, quiet tree lined streets and rear lane garages. A place for friends and neighbours to meet.
