A California original is reawakened.

The Lakes will offer a return to the Golden Era of Architecture, a 1920's style that has come to represent the very essence of Southern California architecture. The style is reminiscent of the historic homes in Pasadena and San Marino, inspired by the works of such celebrated architects as George Washington Smith, Lillian Jenette Rice and Wallace Neff. Smith, considered to be the father of the Golden State's Spanish Revival style, created his signature designs based on centuries-old Andalusian structures. With enclosed courtyards, shady balconies, cool tiles, and bubbling fountains, the style was perfect for the warm Mediterranean-like West Coast climate.

Staying true to this celebrated California style of yesteryear, distinctive homes at The Lakes offer a beautiful expression of simple lines, gracious archways and courtyard elegance. The homes will feature private courtyards, beautifully redefined as outdoor living rooms, perfect for a romantic evening for two or a spirited cocktail party under the stars for one's closest circle of friends.
