The design is described as, “A common vocabulary of Italian architecture in forms and materials, while at the same time expressing architectural variation.” Elements include full surround trim windows, painted shutters, recessed windows, break head and sill trim, decorative metal railings, metal awnings, stucco trim and banding, decorative columns and archways, and light fixtures. The massing is broken up by hipped roofs and recessed patios. There are four separate color schemes in earth-tones.
