This massive project, completed while I was at Niles Bolton Associates (NBA), transformed a former horse farm into a vibrant, modern farmhouse-style community. Spanning 62 acres in Farmingville, NY, the development was designed to offer a range of rental opportunities, from apartments and townhomes to single-family homes, with a focus on immersing residents in nature. Named "The Arboretum," the project reflects its connection to the environment, with streets named after various tree species and a seven-acre botanical garden featuring walking trails and picnic areas.

The Arboretum consists of 75 buildings housing 292 two- and three-bedroom flats, lofts, townhomes, and single-family homes. Creating this community required extensive infrastructure, including new roads, utilities, and a dedicated sewage treatment plant. The luxury garden-style development also features state-of-the-art amenities, including a resort-style pool with a cabana area, a fitness center, a yoga room, and a fitness-on-demand space.

Drawing inspiration from the charm of Farmingville and the modern farmhouse aesthetic, this project showcases a harmonious blend of residential comfort and natural beauty. It was a rewarding design journey, spanning the entirety of my time at NBA, from my early days to my final contributions.
