Beyond the Verge of Great Style

Everything about this Plan One home design at Verge is smart, crisp, and chic. Marketed to the young single professional or student, Verge is one of seven distinctive home collections by William Lyon Homes in the master-planned community of Novel Park in Irvine, CA. A harmonious balance of playfulness and restraint, the overall design is a true multi-color palette against soothing neutral backgrounds within a mid-century aesthetic.

The three-story, single-bedroom floorplan feels open and generous, with soft accent paint highlighting and accentuating the architectural windows in the main living space and the multiple sculptural sputnik chandeliers hung from the third-floor ceiling. The foyer’s whimsical orange wallpapered accent wall and bold blue console table create a sense of arrival before the stairs leading up to the second-floor living areas. Gray serves as the perfect neutral for both flooring and sofas, a solid foundation upon which to layer colors and prints throughout. The wood coffee and dining tables add warmth and beautifully complement the bright wall paint and white kitchen cabinetry. The eye is treated to mid-century furnishings, vibrant pops of color and geometric patterns throughout the home, creating a memorable impression on the neighborhood’s target market. In fact, this home design created such a positive stir that all four homes released sold out in only a month! Verge is the ideal Orange County launch pad for the young and young at heart.

Meet the Spacious, Stylish Echo Plan 3

William Lyon Homes hits it out of the park with Echo plan 3: One of seven collections in the Novel Park master planned community. Nestled in the dynamic and active Great Park Neighborhoods in Irvine, this model is a modern three-story single-family home with the perks of a traditional-home layout. The kitchen, living and dining rooms are on the first floor, all 4 bedrooms are on the second and a large bonus and covered deck occupy the third floor. The contemporary furnishings are a mix of Spanish style with touches of rustic elements. Light backgrounds and soft linen walls are adorned with pops of fuchsia, tangerine and camel. Unique wall décor like woven baskets in the living room, oversized metal florals in a girl’s room and family photo collage in the hallway add dramatic accents in key areas. The drama continues with the design challenge displayed in the master bedroom with off-set windows and an odd pop out in the corner of the room. This was overcome by stacking stunning drapery off to one side and adding macramé hanging planters in the pop out above the nightstand. The Echo plan 3 is the ideal balance of conventional, practical space and trend-worthy style in Irvine’s newest and most interesting neighborhoods.

Nature Meets Modern Man at Reverie Plan 1

This clean and modern farmhouse in Rancho Mission Viejo by William Lyon Homes lends a chic, yet inviting atmosphere. Chameleon Design showcases our take on a purely natural palette by featuring varying shades of ebony, natural wood textures, and creamy whites. This space is unique in that its light tones and ample space make the home feel open, while charcoal accents like drapery, area rugs, and statement seating anchor it together. This home’s decidedly masculine aesthetic wouldn’t be complete without featuring an ode to the great outdoors. Wood ceilings in the entryway create a sense of arrival, while a tree root coffee table and toasty fire pit, seen through three sets of doors, welcome family and friends to gather both inside and out.
