Bird's eye view of the main entry of Bonita Bay

We knew from the beginning that Bonita Bay would be a catalyst project in the residential development area. But the education we received in working with Bruce Howard & Associates regarding sound planning and preservation was truly enlightening. This project’s aesthetic charm can be attributed to the sensitive planning approach and the landscape design solutions which completed the picture.Bonita Bay Properties

When Old Design Becomes New Again

Beyond our extensive work in new developments, one key area of design involves renovation of older communities. Typically on a 25+ year old community the design continuity gets lost over the years. Today’s newer developments have a much stronger architectural identity and there is an emphasis placed on creating a cohesive concept from entry to exit. A large amount of older commuinty's have expressed a desire to upgrade the look in hope of increasing home values and pride in where they live.

Prior to initiating any design we:

Analyze existing conditions
Map out all pertinent existing elements
Utilize aerial photography and inventory all existing trees/shrubs/architectural elements (or lack there-of) on all streets.
Drive through the community and look for problem areas... i.e. intersections with cars backed up waiting to turn

Our Goals for creating "A New You":

Establish an architectural identity that is timeless with a strong sense of permanence
Create an environment synonymous with an image of what your community should be designed for your location
Increase the safety of pedestrians while upgrading the flow of traffic through the community
Develop a unified Master Plan that depicts that ultimate solution for the entire community
