Architectural and Landscaping Design

See more renderingsDeer Creek Village has undergone a new and exciting design transformation in response to public comments offered by neighbors and community leaders, since Merlone Geier Partners (MGP) acquired the property from Downey Savings and Loan (DSL) in August 2008.

Through a new and distinct village main street theme -- including shops, restaurants, outdoor seating and pedestrian interconnectivity between the buildings and along Deer Creek -- the project will provide a strong sense of place for the surrounding community.

The vision for the Deer Creek Village in Petaluma is that of a "City in the Country" combining aspects of the rich craftsman based community of Petaluma and the artisan features of the wine country of Sonoma County. To reflect this image, Deer Creek Village takes on a craftsman architectural style responding to the influences of the region. The project design -- through its use of traditional gable and hip roof forms, natural wood and stone materials, and earth tones with accent colors -- evokes a contemporary interpretation of craftsman styles.
