There is a fine balance between maximizing the square footage that affords the builder the most profitability and designing elegant floor plans and elevations that are not seen as imposing and massive. The three homes in this community were successfully designed to exceed both profitability and architectural thematic goals. Designed in Spanish, Tuscan, European Cottage and Craftsman architectural styles, the homes are exquisitely detailed using brick, stone, wood and wrought iron details. The design guidelines from the master developer enabled the design team to design “softness” into the elevations with lower roof lines and step back treatments throughout the elevations.

The homes range in size from 4,073 to 4,626 square feet and achieve their livability and space goals by utilizing various flex space options and third floor bonus rooms to provide homeowners with a maximum of options and living spaces. Interior design elements such as interior courtyards, over-sized gourmet kitchens, and the master bedrooms with separate retreats enable the homeowners to customize these grand-scale homes in many different areas. Numerous “green” features, including Energy-Star appliances; energy efficient insulation, water heater and lighting; and outside water-conscious landscaping, add value and environmental benefits integral to the design of the homes.
