Kruse Village is a neighborhood center that is a natural extension of the community it serves. The development was strategically designed with a pedestrian-friendly experience in mind, preserving continued space for an ongoing farmer's market and blending individual buildings to fit cohesively within the community. 

DESIGN DRIVERS

Kruse Village boasts a landscaped, walkable perimeter and friendly outward-facing buildings that blend with the neighborhood.

The building design is crisp, with sloped roofs and extensive wood materials. Each building has an individual identity that fits coherently with the whole.
The site was strategically designed to support a pleasant pedestrian experience, with two vehicle entries, and carefully sequenced pedestrian gateways.
Preserved at the heart of the center is a long-standing space for a farmer's market. This continuity in use brings an authentic neighborhood feeling into the center.
