BOOM / SADAR+VUGA

boomforlife.com

A master-planned community in the spectacular desert of Southern California, BOOM changes America's idea of Twenty-First century urban life. Pedestrian-oriented, culture-driven, designed to inspire residents to better themselves and others, BOOM radically alters how we think about home, community and wellness. To create this new vision for living, developer BOOM Communities, Inc., formed a team of both renowned and emerging architects. These ten international architects will design all buildings as well as landscape the 100+ acre site. Bordered by the desert, and showcasing newly created natural landscapes throughout, the first phase has eight distinct housing neighborhoods, each designed by a different architect. Each architect set out to design an environment promoting both privacy and social interaction and did so in their own unique way. Plazas and pathways connect all 300 homes to an entertainment complex, with restaurants and stores, a boutique hotel, a gym + spa, along with state-of-the-art wellness facilities. Each is designed by one of the participating architects. While BOOM takes great pride in its architectural achievement, it is about more than new design. BOOM is also about lifestyle and a sense of community. Residents who live at BOOM will have the opportunity to be active and involved in the many social and sports activities the community offers, as well as BOOM's mentoring programs for the Desert communities.BOOM is forming a Private Foundation to fulfill these goals and its leadership committees will encourage residents to be as involved as they want to be in giving back to the community.
