The community comprises single-level and two-story homes targeted to families, move-up buyers and move-down buyers, so the Clubhouse provides a variety of shared spaces with a focus on social connections and community events to create a sense of belonging and appeal to a broad range of people.
The architectural style was inspired by a Napa Valley winery and reflects a warm, inviting cottage character utilizing a “village of forms” to accommodate a diverse program. The strong stone forms were placed in such a way as to define outdoor “rooms,” creating a variety of entertainment and event spaces important for larger community gatherings.
Inside, the Clubhouse features several bar/lounge areas, prep kitchen, game room and a multipurpose room leading into an expansive outdoor patio. The west end of the Clubhouse building features an outdoor patio above terraced seating, which overlooks event lawn 1 and an elevated stage for community concerts. A variety of outdoor lounge areas line event lawn 2, leading toward the outdoor pavilion that is complemented by a pre-function gathering space and bocce courts.
