The Design Excellence Awards of 2008 were recently announced by the Multi-Housing News, and Pacifica, a mixed-use, mid-rise community in Long Beach, California was graciously awarded ‘Best Transit-Oriented Community’.
In partnership with Lennar, the developer behind Pacifica, Santa Ana based david-michael design, inc. planned and executed the interior architectural design of the Welcome Home Sales Center Studio, Recreation Center and Model Home for the community.
“David-Michael Design was honored to be included in the award-winning Pacifica team," said David-Michael Madigan, Principal of david-michael design, inc.
“We enjoyed working closely with Lennar on this innovative community, and we are proud to have provided them with a beautiful Welcome Home Center, Recreation Center and Model Home that their sales team, prospective residents and homeowners can enjoy”, Madigan continued.
Pacifica is the perfect blend of sophisticated urban living in a charming seaside community, located just a few blocks from the shores of the Pacific Ocean in Downtown Long Beach, California.
The neighborhood is a chic mixed-use, mid-rise development combining 5,300 square feet of ground-floor retail space and four stories of 60 residential flats and townhomes above, and offers ideal proximity to freeways, the financial district, shopping, dining, nightlife and all of the fantastic entertainment destinations Downtown Long Beach has to offer.
“We really wanted to showcase the history and spirit of Downtown Long Beach within the interior spaces”, said David-Michael.
“By incorporating sepia-toned photographs of Downtown Long Beach from the 1920’s and 1930’s into the artwork of the main living areas, and commissioning a local Long Beach artist to provide several custom art pieces for the Model and Recreation Center, we really brought some of the flavor and feel of the Art Deco history of Long Beach into the interiors."
"Infusing unique, one-of-a-kind touches into interior spaces is one of the hallmarks of our firm, and we were pleased that Multi-Housing News recognized the overall Pacifica community as worthy of such a prestigious award," David-Michael concluded.
David-Michael Design, Inc. is an innovative, boutique design studio located in the Transit District of Santa Ana, California.
