Community
Build in the Agrihood
Architecturally, the homes are inspired by the rural agricultural vernacular of the region. By celebrating individual homes with detail and textures they enable a blend of modern, transitional, and traditional styles to coexist side by side. Front porches and pitched rooftops offer a common baseline character, and strategies to minimize the dominance of the garage door on the streetscape help reinforce the pedestrian-oriented nature of the streetscape.

Town Center
Middlebrook’s Town Center will imbue the community with a sense of connection and play. A central civic green will be sized for a variety of programming needs and regular, informal resident enjoyment. Rather than drawing energy from a historic downtown to a new core, Middlebrook will simply extend, augment, and build upon the existing context of downtown Cumming.Agriculture-based Commercial Middlebrook’s commercial district will reference Iowa’s proud agricultural heritage. Outdoor markets and product displays will be common throughout warm seasons, with local festivals introducing and punctuating local food production.
