The New Hill Streets Space Master Plan: A Connective Network in support of Designs for the new Central Bank of the Bahamas
Converting East and West Hill Streets to pedestrian dominant public open space will help orient residents, the work force, and visitors alike. It will become “the place to be” in Nassau. Notes: ms - Museum Square will welcome those whom arrive to the New Hill Street Space via West Street. pk - Park-lets will welcome north/south streets that terminate at the New Hill Streets Space. g - gardens at the Government House will remain a destination and great visual landscape.
10. Establish a clear phasing strategy that allows for positive change with minimal disruption to existing operations in the district. Change needs to be embraced as a positive event in the lives of those in the community affected by construction. Far too often, it is overlooked that businesses and peoples’ daily routines suffer during long periods of construction. We propose strategies for the event of construction that we hope people will miss once the projects are completed.

A New Plan For Downtown Nassau TAS...EJW
New Providence, BS
Cities are never finished. They are in an ongoing state of evolution and change and Nassau is no different.
We consider it our mission to bring fresh eyes to issues facing development, circulation, and public open space to help Nassau find and act on opportunities for positive change that may have otherwise been overlooked or taken for granted over time.
We hope that some of these ideas will fuel future discussions and an evolution of Nassau that continues to strengthen ties to its history while raising excitement for future possibilities.
This proposal for positive change in Nassau on East Hill Street is the first draft of a design that would take months of on the ground observation, testing, face to face engagement, and negotiation between stakeholders.
