    Trellis Court at Cypress Village East

    Edison no longer permit below ground transformers. All developments are required to have them. I think one per a dozen of homes. Projects with lower densities could have landscaped around it when there is ample space between house and sidewalk. I also believe that the transformers just like the...

    New Construction - 30 days until COE - Fire Lane NO parking WTF!?

    back in the olden days all homes came with a driveway, curbside parking, yard as wide as the lot, family room and nook. These were like the steering wheel that came with your brand new car. I am so sorry I stripped them all from my design.

    Eastwood versus Stonegate

    For the time being there will be no 4th level of living space or covered decks. The building codes mandate a second set of stairs for egress. This would be too cost prohibitive and takes up too much land. What we will likely see in the future would be elevator served large building up to 6th...
