Bordering a desirable shopping neighborhood in Pasadena, the new 71-unit condominium project attracts affluent buyers with understated luxury. Entered from a quiet cul-de-sac, a cobblestone entry court leads to an elegant lobby with wood paneling, fireplace and lounge, and views to gardens beyond. Open-air corridors connect a series of graceful landscaped courtyards, creating a unique indoor-outdoor setting, enhanced with arcaded loggias, fountains, outdoor seating areas, plantings and stone paving.

The quiet architecture is based upon precedents from early twentieth century Southern California architect Irving Gill. Smooth-trowel white plaster walls articulated with numerous setback planes, a shadow-story under broad overhangs, with horizontal brick panels extending down as accent walls, elegant casement windows and French doors, bronze guardrails, and stone and tile accents, contribute an overall impression of quality and elegance.
