FALL 2018: Orchard Hills Land Development

Orchard Hills is a land development project that aims to deliver innovative lifestyles while meeting the demands of the surrounding communities it serves. Located in northern Irvine, bounded by roads 133, 261 and 241, this region conserves wildlife while actively facilitating space for the existing agargian economy. Free veteran housing was a continual priority throughout design based off the sociocultural climate of Irvine. Key elements found in this planning area include sustainable roadway design aimed at integrating autonomous vehicles with bicycle paths, emergence of a solar powered cable car as a reliable method of transportation, and a vibrant commercial section that will benefit Orange County.
