Traditional Neighborhood Design

TND or Traditional Neighborhood Designs are reflective of the growing popularity of the new urbanist movement in creating homes and communities that incorporate timeless city planning methods. Modeled after such admired cities as Charleston, Savannah and Alexandria, these communities reflect the concept of integrating residential, professional and retail spaces in a way that encourages pedestrian commuting with less dependence on automotive travel. Many have embraced this lifestyle that offers its subscribers a less hectic schedule and a richer quality of life. TND design styles de-emphasize the automobile and encourage communal interaction with front porches and alley loaded garages. Most TND homes are crafted in a historical vernacular, yet may be in a contemporary or classical genre. Most of our featured TND’s are in a Tidewater, Neo-Classical or Charleston Row-House styles. Our TND style house plans incorporate everything most have come to expect from a Sater Designed home, including open flowing spaces that reflect a casual elegance and thoughtful well appointed rooms. High density private areas allow for open public spaces to be enjoyed by all. Lots are often narrow with rear entry garages accessed by alleys. Courtyards are often incorporated in these designs, creating intimate private outdoor areas for the enjoyment of owners. All our TND style home plans incorporate sustainable design features to ensure maintenance free living, energy efficient usage and lasting value.
