The Colors of Canvas

This past weekend I had the pleasure of visiting Canvas, a new community in Anaheim by Tri Pointe Homes. As a designer on the project, it was a great feeling to walk the models and see people’s positive reactions to something I had a hand in creating. The new homes have something for everyone: a wide variety of plans, a modern twist on traditional aesthetic, and panoramic rooftop views. Highlighted by clever branding, each of the three residential product types is differentiated with theming centered around streaks of paint and custom murals by a local artist. 

Violet—Spanish-inspired interlocking townhomes—centers around the artwork of Andrew Schoultz, who “blends chaos and frenzy with fantasy and whimsy.” His artistic vision expresses the flexibility and “fun” of this product. Ranging in size, the townhomes offer customizable lifestyle-based options, suiting first time buyers, established families and everyone in between.

Claret—traditional-inspired row townhomes—focuses on the style and character of urban living with buildings oriented around central courtyards. You will get to know your neighbors in these spaces, while also maintaining a personal retreat to watch the magical Disneyland fireworks from the fourth level roof deck. These dynamic features are expressed in the “fun, dreamy characters” of Crisselle Mendiola, often depicted in her work.

Cerise—single-family detached homes—provides family living in a more urban, high-density setting. Spiraling around a new high-density “cul-de-sac”, these cluster homes offer the possibility of community interaction, with special care taken to give the level of privacy that a growing family desires. Showcasing the vibrant street art of Jasper Wong, this blend of traditional, Spanish, and modern architectural styles crafts an intimate neighborhood feel and ensures that each home has its own unique character.

Whatever you are looking for in a home, chances are Canvas has something to offer. It’s location in the heart of Anaheim—within walking distance of the famous Packing District and Downtown, and only a short drive from Angel Stadium or Disneyland—adds to the character and versatility of the architecture. The Canvas is yours to fill.
