Solidify the Legacy Through Diversity and Architectural Integrity

It can’t merely “look” like a town. To bring you an all-encompassing community that feels, lives, and changes like a real hometown, it must have a range of housing types—including apartments, condominiums, townhomes, single-family homes, and estates. Lifestyle choice, followed by price point, is the guiding criteria. Additionally, shops, restaurants, a hotel, dry cleaners, civic buildings, churches—even a cemetery—should be part of the mix.

That’s not to say that “anything goes.” On the contrary, at Asheton, the design of a hometown community should be guided by architectural controls that demand strict adherence to building proportion, scale and, in some cases, materials that are rooted in the traditions of Tidewater vernacular architecture.
