Midshore Business and Technology Park. Ridgely, Maryland.

Strategically located, this 95 acre parcel offers an exciting opportunity for the development of a business and technology park.

Featuring a farmhouse, barns and silos, farm fields, hedgerows, existing roads, wetlands, and agricultural drainage ditches, this site is flat with sweeping views of the surrounding agricultural community. The goal was to develop a concept site plan to generate interest from potential commercial or technology developers. A site concept and master plan was developed to show the arrangement of phased vehicular and pedestrian circulation, buildings, open spaces, wetlands and view corridors, as well as possible new uses for the buildings. The design concept reinforced the agrarian context by creating clusters of buildings reminiscent of farmyards and fields with dynamic site geometries enhancing existing site conditions. ATFP setbacks to accommodate secure facilities was also investigated.
