Franklin Street Gateway
Franklin Grove
Chapel Hill, North Carolina

Recalling the look of original residences, this new townhome community addresses the Town’s main street with a park-like space of open lawn and canopy of mature oaks. A low stone wall at the site perimeter echoes those traditionally found along Franklin Street mansions and the University of North Carolina campus. The idea of a gracious, inviting "front door" is further reinforced by a pedestrian gateway located at a remnant drive with new stone walls and custom metal gate depicting a hand-crafted, woodland theme.
