We are excited to share that construction is underway at our Ocean Meadows residential community, now called “The Cove“! This housing development was designed in collaboration with DesignARC and thoughtfully integrates with the surrounding open space.
Situated adjacent to UC Santa Barbara’s Sierra Madre Student Housing and North Campus Open Space, The Cove features 32 two-story detached homes, nine of which include ADU’s, and six affordable two-bedroom homes located on Whittier Drive. Our landscape design emphasizes sustainability and harmony with the restored estuarine ecosystem of Devereux Slough, incorporating native plantings, efficient water management, and outdoor spaces that foster community engagement.
Nicole Greer finalized hardscape details with Wallace & Smith General Contractors, DesignARC, and masonry contractor Cooper Chase.
We collaborated closely with DesignARC to develop the concept of a shared street featuring gradient patterns and a vibrant palette of permeable pavers. Beyond its visual appeal, the design required precise technical calculations to bring it to life.
