In these early communtes, archtectural styles were often mported from the Mdwest and East Coast n the form of pattern books from whch the bulders chose the style and massing of their building. Steeped in the climate of the Arizona desert, styles were often modified to meet the specific climatic influences. Colors were light and materials were a blend of plaster, stucco and sdng. The design of early homes in the Phoenix Valley was directly affected by the climate and imported influences of the pattern books from the Midwest and East Coast. There are currently seven (7) approved archtectural styles for the Marley Park neghborhood: Bungalow, Cottage, Craftsman, Monterey, Spansh, Terrtoral Ranch and Tradtonal. These archtectural styles are approprate to the regon and were developed to address the needs and lfestyles of the resdents as well as support the communty theme as a tradtonal communty development. These styles are found n the turn of the century hstorc Encanto-Palmcroft, Roosevelt and Wllo Dstrcts of Phoenx. The Marley Park Desgn/Development Team seeks to embrace that dversty n archtectural style and desgn, whch s drawn from a rch context of neghborng communty archtecture. In keepng wth the overall communty theme, the homes wll be of hgh qualty and contrbute postvely to the character of the mmedate and surroundng communty. Overall, the desgn concept s to blend the chosen tradtonal archtectural styles of early agrculturally-based communtes wth the envronmental responsveness of Marley Park. Landscape Design Landscape as well as archtecture can express the style of the Home. Some styles are more formal and can be accented by formal landscape and hardscape desgns. Some styles grow out of natural envronments and are at home n more naturalzed landscapes. The followng pages descrbe and demonstrate various style-specific landscape designs. 6 April 2009 Page A gude for personalzng your Home Architectural Style - Bungalow Hstorcally known for ts functonal appeal, the Bungalow style home s smlar to the Craftsman style.
