Color helps to break up some of the massingĭ: Trend’s context called for a contemporary architectural style with flat roofsĮ: A mix of siding and stucco, with vibrant color schemes for the siding, provides contrasting accent colors that lend the homes individualityį: A single, lighter base color for the stucco creates continuityĪRCHITECT: Kevin L. The plans feature a variety of elevation styles, notably Contemporary Farmhouse and Transitional at Prado, and Contemporary at Trend.Ī: Prado features a Contemporary Farmhouse style, distinguished by steeper roof pitchesī: Board-and-batten siding is installed to look more contemporaryĬ: Prado also offers a Transitional style with a shallower roof pitch and stucco as the dominant exterior material. The arrangement attaches the homes only at the garage walls, with no common living walls adjacent to a neighboring unit, to deliver the feel of single-family living. The two communities utilize the same plans, with subtle changes between them, which makes denser single-family living more private and individualized. Located in Irvine, California’s Great Park master planned community, the Prado at Cadence Park (above) and Trend at Novel Park (below) both feature a tri-pack arrangement of homes.
Prado at Cadence Park and Trend at Novel ParkĪRCHITECT: Dahlin Group Architecture | Planning, 77 feet, 6 inches Depth: 70 feet, 6 inches Living area: 1,733 sf – 2,766 sf Design Ideas for Outdoor Living on Small Lots.Compact Homes That Live Big, Defying Small-Footprint Expectations.While varying the cladding options can make a huge difference, altering roof forms and pitches can result in dramatically different elevations and distinct looks that set the same basic home apart from the others. The difference is that now, resistance to “cookie-cutter” streetscapes results in substantially varied exteriors-a critical part of the design process.Īs these projects show, careful attention to details and materials can transform the same single-family and multifamily plans into distinctly different designs without any hint of repetition. An assembly-line form of construction allowed fast, economical production of mostly identical homes-a basic concept of repetitive plans and elevations that influences production builders to this day. In 1947, Levitt & Sons began building massive numbers of homes on Long Island, N.Y., for returning World War II veterans and their families.
