About Proximity Forge

We function as design managers and vision holders, and we help rural landowners, towns, and small developers design landscapes and places that keep the countryside open while bringing daily needs close by. Our work borrows proven Western European settlement patterns and adapts them to the climates and settings of Texas.

We bring experience from both Texas and the Netherlands, including years of observing how small places function. That shows up in quiet details you can build now: thermally responsive architecture, shade that makes hot and sunny places come alive, tree-lined lanes and roads, and the beautiful edges between places and the farms and fields that surround them. 

Please also see our previous, experimental urban design work as B4place. In particular, check out our media coverage for Cyclocroft, a pedestrian/cycling focused community design in Colorado.
