The Pools at Great Park Neighborhoods in Irvine, California elevates the concept of a traditional community center with iconic, modern architecture and an elegant, flexible design.
The facility serves as the heart of a new community developed by FivePoint Communities. The neighborhood is designed around a network of parks and trails, targeting young families and buyers seeking an active, healthy lifestyle.
This project consolidates this precious resource along with other features into a single central destination for all—a neighborhood amenities park.
The complex includes amenities promoting healthy lifestyles for residents and the community at large, including two family and leisure pools, a communal ‘living room’, a library space, full outdoor kitchen and several cabanas and deck lounges. In addition, two tower elements, strategically located in the park, define major entries and glow at night as beacons of a new promising community.
The three new buildings, totaling 11,900 square feet, establish a contrast to the status quo of completely sealed houses, detached from their context and natural environment. The new buildings are conceived as planar arrangements that protect from elements and suggest enclosed space while purposefully connecting to the outdoors to leverage the local mild climate and surrounding amenities.
The material palette is simple and elegant: stacked stone walls ground the structure, floating teak wood ceilings add warmth, large format porcelain tile floors and operable glass walls provide a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The towers are clad in smooth plaster and capped with a brushed metal reflector, lit with programable LEDs to visually communicate events to the community. The buildings are an expression and reinterpretation of the quintessential southern California lifestyle.
