A Symbol of Authenticity
McHastings represents what often goes overlooked—mid-sized Midwestern cities. To capture the essence of what it means to be a "flyover" city, McHastings is designed to not stand out. In this commitment to averageness, it stands as a symbol of the everyday places where millions of people call home, a testament to the beauty and character found in the unremarkable.
Urban Planning
The Land Ordinance of 1785 laid the foundation for the systematic development of vast newly acquired territories. This grid-based surveying system, designed to divide land into townships, serves as a direct source of inspiration for the meticulous urban planning evident in McHastings. By leveraging real-world urban planning techniques, ProjectMCH ensures that its construction adheres to time-tested principles, resulting in an intricately designed landscape that authentically captures the spirit American urban planning.

ProjectMCH incorporates a diverse array of architectural styles within the city of McHastings, seamlessly blending the past century's design influences to craft a unique urban landscape. From the sleek lines of Art Deco structures reminiscent of the Roaring Twenties to the functional minimalism of mid-century Modernism, and even the postmodern creativity of the recent decades, every facet of McHastings pays homage to the architectural heritage of the past century.
Visual Design
