The conceptual design of Devon Yard was conceived out of a collaboration between E. Kahn Development and URBN to create the country’s first organic lifestyle center at their existing retail center in Devon, Pennsylvania. E. Khan Development engaged Bernardon to provide design services for the redevelopment which included a mixed-use building housing 135 market-rate apartment units, along with 7,000 SF of interior amenity space, and over 16,000 SF of exterior amenity space. The design considers the deconstruction and resemblance of garden structures in a way to create new life. Materials such as rubble, recycled shed/barn wood, and green growth walls were introduced to reinforce the inspiration. The design of the exterior amenity space was inspired by the URBN village, with its small scale “garden shed” concept, and offers residents a multitude of covered and partially-covered exterior spaces.
