When Alora debuts this spring at Talega in San Clemente, this limited edition of 36 luxury homes is poised to captivate Southern Californians who desire an extraordinary homebuying experience.
William Lyon Homes collaborated with notable architect Michael Woodley from the nationally acclaimed Woodley Architectural Group to create Alora's fresh, innovative designs that seamlessly blend indoor/outdoor living in this premier coastal-close setting. Get on the inside track for this spectacular collection and express your interest by visiting Lyon Alora to be among the first to learn about pricing, events and phase openings.
Alora's architectural designs will represent the first new homes to be offered at Talega in many years and will introduce floorplans that have never been seen before. Architect Michael Woodley reflects on the thoughtful planning of Alora and the impact this enclave will have among homebuyers who aspire to a definitively unique opportunity. "One of the first things our team did was re-examine plan structure. We didn't want to fall back into designs people were accustomed to, we were interested in creating houses that respond to the way people live today. Lifestyles and priorities have changed dramatically and Southern Californians in particular are not drawn to compartmentalized spaces or formality -- they want homes that fit the way they live now."
"The explosion of space and how the designs encourage outdoor living are some of Alora's most defining elements. There are few places in the world like Southern California where indoor/outdoor dining and entertaining blend so effortlessly, and this architecture was uniquely designed for this location and to celebrate this lifestyle. I also think homebuyers will be enthusiastic about the volume in these two-story homes. Both vertically and horizontally, there is a feeling of space and circulation that lends itself to bright, open interiors and a connection from room to room. For instance, the open kitchens are really hubs that respond to the interaction between families and our love of multi-tasking -- everything is happening at these spaces. With large islands to gather, it's the perfect spot for homework, reading or catching up with each other after a busy day," Woodley explained.
"Alora is different and homebuyers will appreciate the designs are unlike anything they have previously experienced. The floorplans move from formal influences, emphasizing comfort, connection and a multitude of options to customize. To accommodate these sensibilities, for example, the Great Room in the Plan 3 is more of a destination -- it's not exposed when you open the front door. It's the further-most room and still relates to other areas, so it provides a sense of escape and that's a neat way to live. The neighborhood's exteriors also respond to the context of Talega and were thoughtfully planned to blend with the established surroundings. It was important the homes felt current, with a fresh appearance, so we integrated cleaner, simpler lines to reflect a pure Southern California look."
"As an architect, I am energized how people respond to thoughtful design. Now more than ever, it's not just about value, it's relating to the home and how it enriches your life. People want the latest and greatest thing. Alora will bring a fresh, new approach to Talega, offering homebuyers who love this lifestyle and who know what they want a fantastic opportunity," Woodley concluded.
For the special few who will be fortunate to make Alora their own, now is a particularly good time to visit Lyon Alora to register one's interest and experience an online glimpse of the once-in-a-lifetime designs to be unveiled in the months ahead.
