Montevalle Community Recreation Center
Chula Vista, California
A farm for recreation, the buildings are very hands on, like barns, with both active and passive sustainable strategies.
Sited within a 26-acre park where pathways, fencing, wind-rows, sheds and buildings recall an orderly agricultural complex inspired by the region’s traditional ranchero. The architecture remains modest and straightforward. Its simple material pallet, selected for durability, ease of maintenance and energy efficiency, reinforces its honest agrarian character.
