Fountain
Park is a mixed-use, New-Urbanist community
north of Los Angeles that is oriented
to the mountain vistas and open spaces.
The terrain is mountainous, which is evident
with the ridgelines that tower over the
open plaza below. In response to the nature
of the weather in this part of Los Angeles
– hot and arid – arcades and
colonnades are used as cool respites from
the sun. An open oval-shaped park, designed
using the New Beaux Arts idiom, is the
place for special events such as horse
shows and soccer matches.
