Navy Family Housing
Broadmoor Design Group was retained to design a new community for military family housing at NAS
Belle Chase, La. This “New Urbanist” style neighborhood transformed
traditional military housing into to a walkable communities have all of
the amenities offered in off base housing options. 525 new town homes
were developed along with a Community Center, Leasing Office, and
Playgrounds. The 120-acre site required the installation of a new street
grid with service alleys and complete underground utility service.
Great care was taken to sensitively integrate the new housing with
the old by incorporating similar design elements, creating a new
pedestrian circulation system, and maintaining the vehicular circulation
hierarchy. Major landscape features such as waterways and a large grove
of mature oak trees were preserved by efficient land use.
The project was designed to meet Energy Star requirements. High
efficiency appliances, appropriate levels of insulation and other means
were used to achieve designs that are at least 30% more efficient than
code requirements.
Sustainable building materials were selected to balance their first
cost with life cycle expenses as well as environmental impact.
Fiber-cement siding was used instead of a wood based product for its
more lasting and low maintenance qualities, trussed joists were selected
instead of solid members because they use less trees to manufacture.
Borate was used as a wood preservative on all framing lumber because it
is more environmentally friendly than CCA or other treatment methods.
