Rick Engineering Company provided
design development and prepared construction documentation
for a six million dollar (3.2 million dollar budget to site
development) recreational center located in Rancho Cielo Estates,
Rancho Santa Fe, California. The project site is designed with
a Tuscany theme providing formal plantings which transition
into the surrounding native hillsides. Five separate buildings
create four garden & courtyard areas featuring fountains,
statues, and site furnishings. There are numerous design features
incorporated into the design to further accentuate and complement
the theme of the community, while also providing aesthetic
appeal and functionality. Among the various design features
are entry monuments, a conference garden, a perennial garden,
a wedding garden, a wading pool, a water feature, fountains,
a play area, and an open lawn area. The project site is wrapped
at the base of a hillside which creates four separate pads
with ten foot elevation changes between pads making ADA accessibility
a challenge.
