The Bridges at Rancho Santa-Fe Golf Course Club House, San Diego
This amazing clubhouse design (MAI Architects) brings Tuscany to north San Diego, blending traditional elements of Tuscany with the charm and relaxed lifestyle of Rancho Santa-Fe. This accomplishment mixes formal vineyard elements, Italian cypress and olive tree orchards, along with informal mass planting of flowering shrubs. Dry streams frame and anchor this magnificent clubhouse atop a bluff with stunning views of the golf course and rolling hills.

Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, Residential
The designs allowed for not only Tuscan architecture, but also encouraged Spanish, Andalusian and even French Country. The firm has had the opportunity to design more than 110 of the residential properties at the Bridges, including hardscape, softscape, pools, fountains, trellises and accent lighting.

The Bridges at Rancho Santa-Fe Golf Course, San Diego, Calif.
The golf course meanders through the 500-acre development. The site was a tomato farm prior to becoming a world class golf/residential community. Except for a few pristine canyons (protected in place) with dense coastal sage, the rest of the development was void of any living plants. The firm mixed a traditional Tuscan plant palette with native peppers, sycamores, oaks, coastal sage plants, and succulents to frame the fairways of the course.
