DUBLIN, Calif., Sept. 30, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- On the heels of
the official Grand Opening at Wallis Ranch this past
weekend, Trumark Communities has revealed a first glimpse of
the Kindred House, Dublin's first
resort-inspired community gathering place at the 806-home master
planned community. Centrally located to all eight neighborhoods
within Wallis Ranch, the Kindred
House boasts more than 17,000 square feet of indoor/outdoor amenity
spaces dedicated to relaxation, fitness, meetings, dining and
entertainment.
"We're seeing a trend of residential communities incorporating
more communal spaces to encourage interaction between residents,
and Wallis Ranch is no exception,"
said Peter Kiesecker, Chief
Operating Officer of Trumark Communities. "We wanted to create a
place for our residents to form connections with their neighbors
and make memories with their families while enjoying the robust
collection of amenities designed to create a tranquil enclave for
their active lifestyles."
Working with California-based
interior design firm CDC Designs, Mark
Higgins, Senior Vice President, Sales & Marketing for
Trumark led the interior design for the Kindred House based on cues
from the local Napa and
Sonoma modern farmhouse wineries
and inspired by the distinct charm of the local countryside
including barns, silos and ranchers' cottages. "Our team spent
countless hours visiting wineries, hotels and other attractions
throughout Northern California to
refine our design vision for the Kindred House. We are confident
that the Kindred House is completely unique in its style and
offerings," stated Mr. Higgins.
The family room lounge space is sheltered by an exposed rough
sawn open truss beam ceiling providing a dramatic element that is
symbolic of a contemporary farmhouse design. The grand open-air
pavilion boasts all-weather woven country farmhouse seating, a
gourmet catering kitchen and bar area with big screen TVs. Lending
to the rustic and modern mix, sandblasted concrete flooring is
juxtaposed with rustic flagstone pavers, and tonal natural
ledgestone accents are appointed throughout. The indoor space flows
freely onto the outdoor Alpha Omega
Terrace framed by Tivoli Lighting strung between canopy
trees, serene water fountains, fire pits and additional seating
areas. The three-acre common area, designed by landscape architect
Gates Associates, will also offer a fitness center, outdoor yoga
patio, tot lot, 75-foot swimming pool, oversized spa and BBQ area,
all surrounded by more than one mile of trail systems.
"The interior design aesthetic is rustic and relaxed, yet
stylish and comfortable inspiring resort-style living," said
Selena Rodriguez, Project Designer
at CDC Designs. "We blended the boundaries between indoor and
outdoor spaces letting residents utilize and enjoy all of the
spaces in an unrestricted setting."
A spacious event lawn will host residents for concert and movie
nights, and adjacent to that will be a garden where a full-time
farmer will raise seasonal fruits, vegetables and herbs made
available to the community at a nearby produce stand. Anchoring the
entire community, an imported Heritage Oak Tree will stand tall
serving as a focal point.
Trumark Communities recently dedicated 10 acres of land for the
City of Dublin to build public
parks at the entrance to Wallis
Ranch. Paying homage to the region's history and natural
landscape, Garrett Hinds, Director
of Architecture for Trumark, enlisted local artist Eric Powell to create four artistic elements
found throughout Wallis Ranch,
including the three sets of metal gates leading into Wallis Ranch representing the grass, land and
hills of the original site; metal benches placed along the trail;
decorative panels representative of the tools originally found on
property before construction began, which can be seen at the
community's entrance on the Antone Pavilion – a tribute to the
original 1912 Antone Schoolhouse on the site; and an interactive
sculpture in the public mark resembling the old relics found
onsite.
Wallis Ranch will consist of 806
single-family detached homes, townhomes and executive homes in
eight distinct neighborhoods: Riverton by KB Home, Fielding by
Trumark Homes, Trestle and Driftsong by Warmington Residential,
Citron by Pulte Homes, Barnwell by D.R.
Horton, Bridgecroft by Emerald
Homes and Ivy Oak by
Taylor Morrison. Seven neighborhoods
are currently offering homes for sale and many builders have model
homes open for viewing. For more information, visit

About Wallis Ranch
The 184-acre Wallis Ranch master
planned development includes eight distinct neighborhoods featuring
single-family detached homes, townhomes and executive homes ranging
from 1,700 to 4,100 square feet. Upon full buildout, Wallis Ranch will deliver 806 new homes within
eight neighborhoods to a region that has seen a significant boost
in housing demand as a result of the thriving San Francisco Bay
market located less than 40 miles away. Master planner Trumark
Communities has dedicated more than half of the master plan's
acreage to green space programing, including parks, open space and
a water-quality basin to create a tranquil enclave that appeals to
Bay Area residents' active lifestyles. Wallis Ranch will also include a three-acre
common area featuring a fitness center, pool, spa and BBQ area,
surrounded by more than one mile of trail systems. With the
California drought top of mind,
Trumark will incorporate drought tolerant landscaping that will use
all reclaimed water throughout the community.
