Sycamore Villa

The project was to design a new 4,000 sq. ft. community center for Sycamore Villa, a trailer park. The building was to be located in the exact footprint of the previous building which was destroyed by fire. The pool was existing, and was to remain. The owners requested that the new center be more inviting to the community residents. The design added a trellis to mark the entry, light filled and high ceiling community spaces, and large and numerous doors which opened up to the community pool. The roof was broken up into several roof shapes which expressed the interior spaces and created an interesting roofline against the sky. The feedback from the community was that the new center was very appreciated for its detailing and thoughtful design.
