Downtown Norfolk Pattern Book
A tool for re-building a downtown
To address the rapid downtown development, the Department of Planning and Community Development commissioned UDA to produce a Pattern Book to guide the design of mixed-use and multi-family buildings. This tool presents a palette of spatial types, building types, and architectural styles to guide the construction of new buildings and support a harmonious downtown experience. The pattern book sets design criteria for new construction and has been used efficiently by the city’s review agencies.
