The new 1500-2500 square foot, three- and four-bedroom home designs are inspired by many traditional home styles prevalent in the area.  Historic St. Louis brick masonry in rich red, reddish-brown, and terra cotta hues is the predominant exterior wall construction material.  Architectural grade roof shingles in a variety of colors, painted fascias, soffits, trim, and eave details finish out the roof elements.  Traditional windows and porches enhance the brick homes and harmonize with garages and roof shingles to match the homes.  A tree-lined street layout retains a pedestrian friendly neighborhood character typical of Richmond Heights.   A densely planted landscape buffer separates the residential area from the backdrop of the retail development.
