Urban Design Brief: Transforming Vision into Reality

At Wavefront, we focus on creating cohesive urban spaces that are not only visually appealing but also functional. Our Urban Design Briefs outline every aspect of the project—from visioning,  community input and concept development to rendered 3D images illustrating the character and quality of the envisioned urban space. Whether it's designing a new neighbourhood or revitalizing an existing one, our team ensures each project aligns with your vision while integrating the latest sustainable building practices.

Master Planning

Wavefront specializes in comprehensive master planning for new and existing communities, neighbourhoods, commercial and employment complexes, and open spaces. Our projects include everything from Urban Design Waterfront master plans including streetscape plans that encourage walkability and social interaction. With our expertise, you can expect an imaginative and thoughtful approach to master planning that enhances natural landscapes and healthy community living, while incorporating modern infrastructure and sustainable design.

​

We often prepare Urban Design Guidelines to accompany a community master plan or neighbourhood concept, ensuring that the standards we create are based on community input.  We take pride in creating spaces where people can live, work, and play in harmony with their surroundings.

Urban Design Waterfront: Creating Vibrant Communities

Urban waterfronts offer unique challenges and opportunities, and Wavefront excels at transforming these spaces into vibrant community hubs. Our Urban Design Waterfront services include designing promenades, plazas, and public spaces that enhance waterfront living. We combine thoughtful urban design elements with sustainable practices to create a balance between nature and urban life.

​

For Urban Design Builders, we ensure that each waterfront project not only looks beautiful but also addresses practical needs like stormwater management and flood resilience.

Streetscape Design for Modern Living

Wavefront’s streetscape projects prioritize walkability, safety, placemaking and aesthetic appeal. Our streetscape designs are often based on Urban Design Guidelines, and include elements like pedestrian paths, bike lanes, and greenery to encourage community mobility and healthy living. Our designs ensure streets not only serve as thoroughfares but also as spaces where people can gather and enjoy.

Green Building and Sustainable Development

At Wavefront, sustainability is a cornerstone of all our projects. Whether it's incorporating energy-efficient materials or designing for cooling and natural ventilation, our approach can ensure Urban Design Builders that every community we work on is built with your success in mind. Our commitment to green building principles is evident in projects like the Green Building Assessment in Tonga, where we focused on reducing the carbon footprints and increasing energy efficiency.
