The American Institute of Architects (AIA)

1. Design on a Human Scale - Compact, pedestrian-friendly communities allow residents to walk to shops, services, cultural resources, and jobs and can reduce traffic congestion and benefit people's health.
2. Provide Choices - People want variety in housing, shopping, recreation, transportation, and employment. Variety creates lively neighborhoods and accommodates residents in different stages of their lives.
3. Encourage Mixed-Use Development - Integrating different land uses and varied building types creates vibrant, pedestrian-friendly and diverse communities.
4. Preserve Urban Centers - Restoring, revitalizing, and infilling urban centers takes advantage of existing streets, services and buildings and avoids the need for new infrastructure. This helps to curb sprawl and promote stability for city neighborhoods.
5. Vary Transportation Options - Giving people the option of walking, biking and using public transit, in addition to driving, reduces traffic congestion, protects the environment and encourages physical activity.
6. Build Vibrant Public Spaces - Citizens need welcoming, well-defined public places to stimulate face-to-face interaction, collectively celebrate and mourn, encourage civic participation, admire public art, and gather for public events.
7. Create a Neighborhood Identity - A "sense of place" gives neighborhoods a unique character, enhances the walking environment, and creates pride in the community.
8. Protect Environmental Resources - A well-designed balance of nature and development preserves natural systems, protects waterways from pollution, reduces air pollution, and protects property values.
9. Conserve Landscapes - Open space, farms, and wildlife habitat are essential for environmental, recreational, and cultural reasons.
10. Design Matters - Design excellence is the foundation of successful and healthy communities.

The Crown Team of Bolivar Texas.

ARCON Architects, a multi-faceted, commercial and residential architectural firm, was established in 1991 and has served as “township architects” for Laguna Harbor from its conception. Stan Cromartie, AIA and his staff worked with the owners to conceptualize the development, drawing inspiration from West Indies coastal designs that are not only functional, but also distinctive in character.

A clear goal of the developers of Laguna Harbor was to offer a variety of high-end properties that worked together as a compatible whole. ARCON assisted with land-planning services and established the Architectural Guidelines and Design Regulations to accomplish the goals. The firm also designed the Showcase Center and the unique Harbor Houses, structures that exemplify the style of the waterfront community. The firm, which excels in integrating interior and exterior spaces in its work, will also design homes for several of The Estate and The Cove properties.
