Project Summary

This project conducted research to evaluate the highest and best potential uses of two properties centered in the Town of Holden Beach, NC. Using the Coastal Dynamics Design Lab’s expertise in ecological and landscape planning, community resilience, and coastal hazard mitigation, the research team undertook analyses to identify and describe multiple land use scenarios. The study evaluated contextual factors and resilient solutions that are appropriate for a barrier island. Findings and resultant recommendations address how novel approaches to architecture, landscape architecture, and urban design can inform a variety of sustainably-driven schema that complement community character and strengthen town fabric.
