Cowart Coleman Group is a proven innovative leader in the area of Land Planning. No longer can we accept subdivisions that create sprawl and are socially irresponsible.

Perhaps the best example of land planning is the Neotraditional Neighborhood Planning design that Gerry Cowart created for Newpoint, near Beaufort, S.C. The land planning was selected as the 1995 AIA Georgia Award for Excellence in Architecture, as well as being published in Southern Living, Builder Magazine and Southern Accents. This plan incorporates both sound street design, with squares, boulevards, common playgrounds called "rambles," gazebos as well as "The Green," which is a leisurely stroll along the developments riverbanks.

• Keeping the lots narrow, introducing porches and low fences, rear alleys with garages, and sidewalks where children can ride their bicycles, or parents can walk, are all part of creating an environment that encourages neighbors to socialize.
• You can see from the color photograph that scale and proportion and simplicity of design rule --- yet attention is given to refinement - creating a Neotraditional neighborhood.
