the STUDIO @ Westmoreland Farm™
An exterior courtyard precedent demonstrating how warm architectural lighting and a repeating arched arcade activate a two-story stucco facade at dusk.
- What we like about this project
- Up-lit palm trunk in the foreground frames the composition and mirrors the vertical rhythm of the arcade columns.

- Symmetrical two-story stucco facade arranged around a central lawn courtyard, featuring a ground-level arched arcade and second-story arched multi-pane windows.
- Facade system
- Stucco over masonry with arched multi-pane glazed openings and continuous second-floor balcony.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing masonry with concrete floor plates and steel-reinforced arches.
- Spatial scale
- Large resort-scale courtyard garden framed by a two-story building perimeter.
- Lighting
- Twilight sky transitioning to deep blue, contrasted against warm orange interior and wall-mounted sconce lighting casting long, soft glows.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and inviting evening atmosphere combining cool twilight with warm architectural illumination.
- Environmental context
- Enclosed outdoor courtyard with lawn, manicured flower beds, gravel borders, and mature palm trees.
- Spatial experience
- The deep arcade creates an outdoor transitional promenade wrapping the courtyard, offering views into warm interior spaces.
