This approach fosters a sustainable community designed to flourish over the long term.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The master plan concept derives from the most prominent features of the site: Oak Forest and Little Creek, while embracing natural topography and vegetation.

Native gardens are cleverly arranged between houses, combined with low fence and gate designs, fostering an open and inviting atmosphere.Save this picture!Save this picture!With diversity in house typologies, each personalized house has its unique character but is still unified in using materials, warm colors, and harmonious proportions, creating a distinctive and friendly identity for the community.
