The life-style center was to incorporate the basic design scheme adapted for the casitas. To accomplish that aesthetic, the initial concept to emulate the casitas divided the center into two pods - one for training/workout space and the other for administration and informal meetings of the residents. The two pods were at a scale in keeping with the casitas, not overpowering the site with a large building. The two pods would be entered through a gate-controlled tower entered through a trellised walkway.

The western pod houses the fitness elements that include weight training, exercise equipment (bikes, treadmills, etc.), an aerobics/barre training room, and locker room for both sexes. The east wing houses administrative offices, billiards room, a conference room with seating for 16, and a living room, with toilet facilities for the pod and the pool deck. An exterior terrace and bar-b-q area is in the southeast corner of the pod. All service areas are on the north side of the pods with the more people centric spaces facing south and to the pool.

The exterior design follows the casita design with ample windows and column supported overhangs to block out harsh Florida sun. The wall colors are rendered in three shades of grayish brown, again following the theme set by the casitas. Concrete tiled hip roofs help to scale the building as residential. Horizontal reveals are added at defined areas to break up the massing of the stucco faced masonry walls.

The south side of the center has a 1,300 square foot pool with landscaped pool decks comprising approximately 3,750 square feet. Lush landscaping encompasses the perimeter of the building providing a smooth transition between the commercial and residential aspects of the site.

Energy efficiency was a goal for the project. Energy efficient lighting, air handling systems, low flow plumbing fixtures, and spray foam insulation are provided to keep energy costs low.
