Architectural Guidelines | Download PDF
In this quiet and inspiring setting, there is an opportunity to create a community of rare quality. Drawing on the best traditions of architecture, and looking at the land itself for inspiration - its forms, colours, plants and materials - it is possible to create a community in harmony with its natural setting. The Community Guidelines are intended to ensure all members of the Hawks Landing team – the developer, homebuilders and homeowners alike – fully realize the spectacular opportunity that is Hawks Landing.
Our common goal is a community of lasting beauty and value. The guidelines begin by setting out a process by which you and your builder can work together with Hopewell through the design of your new home and homesite – identifying common goals, searching through options and arriving at a design of which we can all be proud.
Next, we go to discuss the principles that will guide new home designs in Hawk's Landing. The PDF does not simply establish a restrictive set of rules. Rather, it goes beyond this to explain the fundamental principles of design – timeless concepts that have guided the best work by generations of designers.
These discussions provide a context and basis of reason for the common development rules. The guidelines are intended to be read together with the architectural style guides included in Chapter 5. The different styles will give Hawk's Landing a vital sense of variety and authenticity. At the same time, common design elements on all properties will create a sense of unity in the community as a whole. We look forward to working with you to bring your visions to life, and to realize the extraordinary potential of Hawk's Landing.
