Welcome to
We are a design-build placemaking studio serving communities in Charlotte, North Carolina.
What we do
-
Traffic Calming
Create safer spaces for everyone by installing strategic road design elements aimed at reducing automobile speeds and increasing flow control compliance.
-
Road Murals
Visually enhance streets and create a sense of place with contextually appropriate asphalt or concrete mural designs.
-
Grant Writing
Helping connect communities and creatives to the funding they need to get their projects started.
Why traffic calming?
Streets account for some of the largest use of public space.
By improving street safety and enhancing the visual impact of a street, communities can reclaim this public space. Road murals and traffic calming are two methods for redesigning streets so that they can better serve communities, and everyone who uses them.
Who we are
Ashley Morisette
Founder, Principal, Urban Designer
“As a mother of young children and someone with family members who are unable to drive, I know the importance of mobility. Everyone deserves to move safely through our urban spaces and have access to daily essentials without the use of a car. This independence positively affects all aspects of life, including health, economic mobility, quality of life, among many others.
I started Place& to bring these opportunities to communities in Charlotte.”

What is your pricing structure?
Our pricing is project based. Since project scopes vary depending on materials and deliverables, we ask that you please reach out for a free quote!
What are your project timelines?
Any project that includes murals or street paint applications must be completed during the summer and fall months, so planning these projects during cold-weather seasons is ideal. Grant writing can be done year round, and timelines will depend on the needs of each community.
