The Downtown Development Assessment was completed in response to funding provided by the Florida Legislature for DMS to develop a plan for aging State-owned office buildings in downtown Tallahassee. ALW and Savills updated the findings of the 2017 Leon County Property Portfolio Study through an in-depth review of 10 office buildings and seven parking structures. […]

Architecturally, the design combines the symmetry, order, and monumentality of Neoclassical civic architecture with Greek Revival influences and elements drawn from Florida’s vernacular traditions. A formal portico and balanced composition communicate the permanence of the judicial institution, while deep roof overhangs, shaded approaches, and a strong relationship between the building and landscape respond to the […]

The master plan establishes a coordinated framework for expanding FSU’s Lakefront Park over multiple phases. ALW documented existing buildings, waterfront facilities, vehicular and pedestrian routes, parking, outdoor recreation areas, topography, flood-prone areas, and mature landscape features to identify physical limitations and opportunities for growth. Existing spaces were evaluated against the operational and spatial requirements of […]
FSU’s pedestrian network is characterized by brick walkways, masonry landscape walls, live oak canopies, courtyards, plazas, and green spaces.

This signifies we’re moving in the right direction, and it also says the city of Tallahassee and the commissioners have paid attention to what’s happening here in 32304.” Internally, the project provides a flexible, vendor-ready shell that reduces the initial development burden for a local […]
The phased redevelopment scenario was organized to allow club operations to continue while new facilities were constructed. New buildings and amenities could be completed before corresponding existing facilities were removed, reducing interruptions to golf, dining, recreation, and member services. The study also identified planning considerations associated with zoning amendments, homeowner association approvals, utilities, stormwater management, […]
Existing conditions included narrow and overlapping footpaths, exposed utilities, informal bicycle parking, fragmented landscaping, and recurring conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles. ALW developed a coordinated site framework that reorganized these elements while preserving established trees and usable open spaces. The design established clearer zones for pedestrian movement, bicycle storage, utilities, planting, lighting, and vehicular access. […]
