NORTHWOODS VILLAGE II
Glendale, California
Northwoods Village II sits on 1.63 acres, in close proximity to the I-210 Freeway and right along Pennsylvania Avenue. With its finely articulated landscape and walkable neighborhood, the complex provides a long-lasting community. The design has been greatly enhanced through the use of woodsy natural materials, local alluvial stone, and a variety of pitched roofs and extensive building articulation. Each unit has several balconies, which adds further character to each unit.
The 28 townhomes of Northwoods Village II offers three varieties (ranging from 1700 SF – 2000 SF) that offer the perfect mixture of modern relaxation and country-style living. All units have a private 2 car garage, access to park and play areas, promenade path around the site, laundry at bedroom levels, spa style master bathrooms, and ample guest parking.
MUSEUM OF WATER AND LIFE
Inspired by the construction of Diamond Valley Lake, the world’s largest man-made water storage lake, the Museums of Water + Life celebrate the importance of water and the significant role it plays in the development and evolution of life. The dual museums Water (The Center for Water Education) and Life (The Western Center for Archaeology and Paleontology) serve to heighten awareness of the infrastructure on which they are built.
The Museum’s design seizes the opportunity to involve landscape architecture, using a collage of building and natural elements in formal, classical relationships in order to unify and organize. In this way, design does not end at the building’s edge, but extends view and place into the landscape and community.
Sustainability
The ability to control energy costs both fiscally and environmentally is critical in today’s society. Gangi Development is an advocate of energy conservation and is committed to designing the best conditions for promoting awareness of the impact of our built environment.
The Diamond Valley Museums and Campus has achieved LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum Certification, and features one of the largest rooftop photovoltaic installations (540 kilowatts). Actively involved in LEED and green design, Gangi Development believes in the ability of new design technologies to create a better future.
Water + Life
The central mission of this project is to bring attention to infrastructure, the man-made system that sustains civilized life, which is often hidden and unknown. The construction of the dams and lake involved cutting edge building technology and advanced water management techniques, providing an occasion to educate and celebrate the water infrastructure of California through a WATER museum.
