Norco Business Center

In the suburban communities that grow at the edges of the modern city, low density developments frequently sacrifice character and unity in order to maximize utility and efficiency. Breaking with that tradition, Stratus Development looked to the design team for the Norco Business Center to establish a strong design character, and connect the buildings with meaningful spaces and interconnections.

Paving patterns identify major spaces at the entries and within the pedestrian network. The planting palette uses low water use plants on the periphery and then transitions to a softer, lusher, more colorful palette in the quiet shaded courtyards.
