Aerial view of Ten Trails master-planned community in Black Diamond
An aerial master-planning precedent demonstrating the integration of dense residential clusters, winding roadway networks, and interconnected green spaces within a Pacific Northwest natural landscape.
- What we like about this project
- The seamless integration of extensive linear greenway corridors threading directly through dense multi-family housing clusters.

- Geometry
- Expansive master-planned subdivision layout featuring curving residential collector roads, interconnected walking paths, clustered multi-family housing blocks, and interspersed pocket parks.
- Facade system
- Mixed residential siding including lap siding, shingle, and paneling with punched windows.
- Structural guess
- Wood-frame residential construction throughout the master plan.
- Spatial scale
- Macro-scale aerial perspective showing a large master-planned community development spanning miles.
- Lighting
- Bright midday sunlight casting soft shadows across roofs and tree canopies under a clear blue sky.
- Atmosphere
- Vibrant and expansive, emphasizing harmonious integration between structured human settlement and dramatic natural topography.
- Environmental context
- Expansive Pacific Northwest valley landscape with dense evergreen forests and a prominent snow-capped mountain peak in the distant background.
- Spatial experience
- From above, the development reads as a woven neighborhood network balancing dense clusters of housing with generous green corridors and public park spaces.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating pitched-roof residential modules interspersed with irregular pockets of mature trees and open lawns.
