Since 1968, we’ve worked on thousands of projects, both big and small. Here are some of our favorites.
NDC met with residents, sharing green infrastructure strategies and gathering input through surveys and discussions. Site analysis and a concept plan were developed to address areas most impacted by stormwater runoff.
NDC assisted in designing a traffic calming plan for the extended Cecil Elementary footprint.
For this large-scale project, we assembled dozens of professionals who donated a total value of $110,000 for their expert services. The result was an impactful master plan that secured a $26M Federal TIGER Grant to make these community visions and reality.
Based on community feedback, our team of designers came up with a conceptual plan that would both beautify and ease access into the park.
Our partner sought to honor the service of veterans and create a tranquil place for contemplation and gathering. We transformed a road easement into a community asset, maximizing the location’s visibility with access from several points along existing walk lines.
In the 1950’s, a metal barrier separated Brentwood, a sundown town, and North Brentwood, the county’s first incorporated African American town. We helped the two towns to collaborate on creative placemaking and plantings, which secured a quarter million in outside funding. See how this roadway got pedestrianized!
This project is a cornerstone of the park’s equitable development plan, ensuring that it remains accessible and inclusive to the surrounding community.
This neighborhood was experiencing flooding and stormwater drainage issues. They sought our expertise to replace these hazards with beautiful and effective best practices.
We created plans that visualized how the empty spaces in this arts building could be repurposed for studios, offices, and support spaces.
We provided mentorship and design support to the 2023 Fellows who worked to address critical development needs within Baltimore’s middle-market neighborhoods.
