Multi-Family Residential/Mixed-Use
Harmony Apartments
City of Chula Vista, California
Homefed Corp.
Harmony Apartments marks the first chapter of Otay Ranch Village 8 East in Chula Vista, setting the tone for the community that will grow around it. Spanning 9.6 acres with 312 residences and 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, the project establishes a grounded yet refined identity through its contemporary agrarian architecture and a landscape that softens, frames, and humanizes the built form. Together, they create a cohesive environment that feels both rooted and forward-looking.
At the heart of the site, the recreation area serves as a vibrant focal point. A large lap pool and separate family pool are linked by a boardwalk bridge that guides movement toward an LED art wall. Agrarian-inspired cabanas, a spa, and an activated bar counter provide shaded retreat and year-round social space, balancing energy with calm.
Amenities are layered to support both playful gathering and quieter moments throughout the community. A “grand” park-like lawn anchors outdoor activity, while a highly-amenitized, whimsical sky deck—defined by a signature A-frame—overlooks the pool and park below. Dog parks, satellite BBQ areas, and a lushly planted landscape spine weave the site together, creating a walkable sequence of spaces that reinforce comfort, connection, and the contemporary agrarian theme.
The Club on Main
City of Chino, California
Lewis Management Corp.
Club on Main unfolds across 3.81 acres as a private recreation destination serving the Preserve at Chino, where social energy and active living come together. Anchored by a Spanish-inspired clubhouse, the design emphasizes warmth through shaded transitions, textured materials, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The result is a welcoming setting where residents naturally gather and connect.
At its core, a 3,700-square-foot pool balances play and retreat, with a beach entry. The colonnade-inspired cabanas offer varied seating, creating layers of shade and social space, while a spa with a framed tile mural wall provides a focal point for relaxation and relief from the heat.
The outdoor kitchen acts as a social hub, centered around three BBQ stations, a built-in serving table, and a custom linear fire feature. A large shade structure provides comfort and identity, while surrounding seating supports both casual meals and party-inspired gatherings.
A hammock butterfly garden offers a space for relaxation and reflection. Over 22,000 square feet of flexible lawn allows for large community events, complemented by an elevated performance stage. Tennis, pickleball, and a half basketball court complete a landscape designed for activity and connection.

The Harvest at Terra Vista
City of Rancho Cucamonga, California
Lewis Companies
The Harvest at Terra Vista mixed-use project is a first of its kind in Rancho Cucamonga, CA. This unique 17.2 acre community brings together the city’s first wrap apartments, combined with walk-up apartments and surrounding 20,000 sf of retail space to create a modern farmhouse-themed village, adjacent to the existing Terra Vista Commons Retail Center. The 323-unit walk-up and 346-unit wrap apartment buildings being 3 & 4 stories, respectively, created a challenge in how to celebrate the harvest theme in an urban community. Ultimately these moments were created in the farmhouse architecture, harvest-themed art accents and murals, and pocket gardens with steel graphic placards to illustrate what’s growing below.
Coastline Ventura
City of Ventura, California
Johnson Development Associates
A unique 11-acre, 231-unit multi-family project located between the 101 Freeway and a coastal railroad in Ventura, CA, Coastline Ventura is a fresh take on seaside luxury. Challenged by the City to create a new style while still being authentic to the seaside details and post-modern design, the landscape features fun and whimsical spaces that celebrate the spectacular views and sunsets. A nod to post-modern design, a 2-story palm tree spotlights a landscape that is so integrated into the architecture that it actually cuts holes through the roof.
Using planting materials that are indigenous to the Channel Islands of SoCal along with various other plants and materials that accentuate the strong Ocean, Sea Green & Sunset color palettes that were carefully crafted from the natural landscape of the site, as well as seaside accents like the rammed earth benches in the Grand Promenade and the beach fossils in the tot lot sand area, plays up the harmonious marriage of landscape, color and theme throughout.
