MORGAN'S CORNER

Chesterton, Indiana

Designed to incorporate state-of-the-art thinking and emerging technology, Coffee Creek is a proposed 640-acre new development located 30 miles southeast of Chicago. 

The project was designed as a model of environmentally sensitive design, including restoration of the pre-settlement landscape, natural hydrological systems and pedestrian oriented, mixed-use neighborhoods. Plans call for the incorporation of neighborhood-scaled renewable energy systems and user-responsive transportation systems.

The Morgan’s Corner neighborhood was the first to be realized. KWLS Director of Planning Richard Price led a team of professionals in the detailed planning of the neighborhood, whichincludes a walkable, mixed-use neighborhood center and a variety of residential units facing onto the restored landscape along Coffee Creek.
