The design process emphasized taking advantage of its hillside setting, affording homes spectacular ocean and coastal views. View analyses, night light, and animation technology were used during the planning and design stages. Simulated view analyses revealed valuable information about onsite and offsite perspectives. Other design challenges involved addressing existing conditions such as a large reservoir. In addition to these factors, conscious effort was given to preserving natural coastal habitat and crucial wildlife corridors.

The resulting product is a community that is integrated into the natural terrain and recognizes the surrounding environmental features. The collaborative design team includes HRP, Bender & Associates, and Digital Preview.
