Inspirata Pointe at Royal Oaks: Architecture

Sun City, AZ

With an emphasis on providing abundant choices for residents, the resort-style, amenity-rich campus offers a variety of wellness and dining experiences.

Inspirata Pointe at Royal Oaks redefines desert living. Artfully placed promenades, intimate pathways, covered breezeways and lush pocket gardens are situated throughout the campus. A variety of new building amenities complement the existing programs and spaces at Royal Oaks, including a new club center that’s centrally located to unify the community. The club offers three new restaurant venues (Copper Skye, Azul, and Indigo Kitchen), a classroom for the community’s Life Enrichment Program of activities, and a concierge service center.

Modern architectural gestures such as grand roof overhangs and large windows allow interior spaces to flow seamlessly into the landscape. Passive cooling is incorporated to extend the use of the outdoor spaces throughout the summer; these elements include courtyards with shaded pavilions, walking paths, and water features that create welcoming sanctuaries. Zooming out from these small, protected outdoor spaces, Inspirata Pointe’s multi-story buildings are positioned at the same time to take advantage of the surrounding mountain vistas.

Inspirata Pointe offers 156 customizable residences with contemporary open floor plans and connection to the outdoors. Locally sourced stucco, limestone, wood accents and bronze provide richness and contrast. The beauty of Arizona’s environment is reflected in the textures, patterns, canopies, and color palette throughout the landscaping and interior design, creating a true desert oasis.
