Challenge
Summer Wind, a coastal community by The Beach Company, required a master plan that balanced market-driven residential demand with responsible environmental stewardship. The challenge for JHP was to design a high-amenity neighborhood while protecting natural dunes, addressing coastal storm-surge risks, and preserving public access to the shoreline.
Solution
JHP organized Summer Wind around walkable streets, resilient building strategies, and a connected network of parks and open spaces. Residential buildings and amenities are oriented to maximize coastal views while meeting stringent flood, wind, and sustainability standards. Public pathways reinforce access from the community to the beachfront.
Impact
Summer Wind delivers a coastal-resilient, environmentally conscious neighborhood that enhances livability, preserves natural assets, and strengthens long-term community value along the shoreline.
