Residential Development

An upscale residential village located off historic Route 66, Amador is designed around William Lyon’s architectural concept of designing a triplex building to appear as “one big house”.  This highly amenitized community draws its inspiration from the Italian countryside and pays tribute to the historical vineyards found in early Rancho Cucamonga.  Working vineyards are incorporated along the perimeter streetscape and entry.  The recreational area and entry buildings have been designed to replicate buildings from an early on-site winery.  A grove of mature olive trees frames the pool and central “piazza” area where an outdoor kitchen and stone fireplace are located. The triplex units are all arranged around a themed landscaped courtyard that provides a strong, central identity and sense of place. Respecting water as a valuable commodity, drought tolerant plant material is prevalent throughout the project and turf areas exist only at critical locations.

Sendero is a collection of 111 townhomes built by Shea Homes located within the master-planned community of Rancho Mission Viejo. Based upon the heritage of the ranch, Spanish-themed architecture is prevalent throughout the community. Inspired by this, the common area landscape spaces are dominated by boldly colored decorative tiled elements such as fountains, pilasters, steps, along with brightly colored pots, and a bold landscape palette. This landscape provides the residents access throughout the neighborhood, surrounding community and to the central recreational amenity across the street.

Pavilion Park is the first phase of residential development within the Great Park in Orange County. Sagewood is Shea Homes’ development within this historical development. Three unique single-family residences are a part of a model/marketing complex that boasts ten different developer products all centered around a central park. With a Spanish, Mission and Cape Cod elevation making up the complex, the marketing program includes front yards that complement the architecture and streetscape and rear yards that feature a water element, outdoor dining opportunities, a fireplace and a turf play area with a soccer goal.
