3.0 ARCHITECTURE
. Establishing the Architectural Fabric – Architectural Design Objectives
e architecture within these areas will reflect the overall community wide goals of creating a casual, outdoor, informal island lifestyle based on the following architectural design principles:
1. Draw upon the informal island design traditions of “unbundling” the traditional idea of home to create a connection of indoor and outdoor rooms.Designsthat“ramble”torespondtothesitetopographyand vegetation are encouraged. Structures may be connected by a series of verandas, breezeways, porches, and/or trellises to create a“home”.
2. Utilize the concepts of “additive architecture” as a guiding principle to create homes that are responsive to the Owners evolving needs. e “unbundled” concept is rooted in the architectural traditions of how homes evolved historically and were added to over time. As families grew or lifestyles changed, new structures were built to accommodate them.
