Laguna Clara | Santa Clara, CA

Designed within an existing EQR development, the Laguna Clara project removes five existing buildings and partially demolishes a sixth building, replacing the demolished buildings with 1 higher density building. The design incorporates the new building into the existing development, tying the existing 21 structures surrounding the new structure together via landscaped communal areas, an at-grade pool and spa, and improved access to the various buildings.

A short drive from downtown Santa Clara, as well as Apple headquarters, this project sits near the junction of highway 82 and the Lawrence expressway. With an elegant, contemporary aesthetic, the design of this building gives the project a modern feeling inside and out. Amenities include resident lounge, club room, conference room, 2 courtyards, fitness center, pool, sky lounge and roof deck. The design team worked with the community to develop a project that blends seamlessly into the community. The design incorporates cross laminated timber (CLT) into the structure at amenity spaces, providing a unique, exposed wood aesthetic while achieving greater head height within the common spaces. The project will be LEED Gold certified.
