FFor over four decades, the Deluca Family has been creating

homes that capture the traditions of craftsmanship, quality,

and family value, traditions passed down from father to son

which transcend time. The DeLuca House, Our House, is the

product of these traditions, and the culmination of our

heritage. Our House is waiting to become your home. The

castle you’ve dreamed of, and the home you truly deserve.

The emblem (crest) we have chosen both symbolizes Our

House and honors our family history. It presents our pride in

our rich past, our determination to meet the needs of today’s

homebuyer and to continue this vision into the future.

We’ve selected a castle as the centerpiece of the DeLuca

emblem and as a symbol of Our House. Like the magnificent

castles of old, Our House is built by passing down the

traditions of workmanship and attention to detail, from

generation to generation. Like the castles of old, Our House

can withstand the test of time with beauty, comfort and style.

The three stripes which transverse the castle represent the

three DeLuca sons who are carrying the family name

and business forward. They are guided by a fervent (heart-

felt) respect for their heritage and an uncompromising

dedication to quality, excellence and value. Our House is the

home they’ve created just for you, a home in the most

convenient locations, in neighborhoods close to the best

schools and services.

The vine which encircles the DeLuca emblem connects the

present to the past and weaves the traditions of three

generations into the fabric of today’s thriving DeLuca

enterprise. The vine is symbolic of the other member of the

DeLuca family whose love, support and understanding bind

the family together. This understanding forms the framework

for the DeLuca philosophy, a desire to listen to your needs,

and to translate your needs into the castle of your dreams.

Come visit Our House. It is every home we build, and it’s

waiting to become yours.

With over 35 years of experience,

HeuserDesign has completed designs for

over 300 new and existing communities.

Communities designed by Bob Heuser

show great respect and sensitivity to the

land. As he designs, he takes into

consideration the needs and wants of the

people who will eventually inhabit the

community. To him, creating communities

is about creating a balance in the design-

infrastructure vs. visible amenities- that

allows for the dollars to be spent on those

things that are of value to future residents.

D E S I G N E R :

S T E P H E N F U L L E R , I N C .

We have learned by study and practice that

the finest places to live are created by

orchestrating many seemingly unrelated

elements of the environment around us

into a unified vision. We design gathering

places that bring neighbors and

communities together, encouraging the

kind of good fellowship that has been lost

from recent years in our society of fast

paced living. This is what we do; we design

homes, communities, public gathering

places, places to be inspired by, places to

call "home".

M"May you look back on the past with as much pleasure as you

look to the future" -Paul Dickson

When you think back to treasured memories of your favorite

town, it would most likely include the band playing on the

Fourth of July in the Town Square. That square became the

destination point for friends, family, and neighbors to gather

and socialize. You might also recall that neighbors shared

errands and responsibilities; sent their children walking to

school together; and told stories in coffee shops, on park

benches, on front porches and in the parlors of private homes.

There was a time when neighbors knew and genuinely cared

for one another. A time when homes defined streets, streets

defined blocks, blocks defined neighborhoods, and

neighborhoods made up towns. All the ingredients of a town

had a purpose and when blended, created a wonderful place

that everyone was proud to call home.

We admire these cities and towns because of their irresistible

charm; small town scale, pedestrian sensitivity, public parks,

sense of enclosure and attention to detail. We admire their

authentic beauty and visual coherence amongst its architecture

and public spaces. These places make us feel good and we long

to live in communities today that have the definable presence

of attractive buildings and livable spaces.

While we cannot turn back time

and return to those nostalgic

periods, we can build places

equivalent in beauty and function.

The remedy is to revive key

ingredients and revisit many of the features of urban

neighborhoods of years past. We cannot simply transfer old

towns and communities into today's suburbs. With

technological advances such as cars, home theaters, televisions

and Internet communication, it requires a new vision,

creativity and innovation.

There is no doubt that

great communities

evolve from great

planning. They are the

product of creativity,

principled design, and

attention to detail.

That is why we have

teamed with a group of

industry leaders, professionals who share our vision and

discipline. It is the strong commitment by DeLuca Homes, as

well as a genuine desire by our team members, that provide

the foundation to Lake Nona South, a community featuring a

combination of beautiful architecture with great urbanism in

the most charming

place to live, a place

that expresses a life

of richness and

tradition, and acts as

a stage for the drama

of life.

We have gleaned the

best ideas from successful traditional neighborhoods and

adapted them to today's modern lifestyles. Our vision calls for

a return to a walk-able

scale; the planned

interaction among

neighbors; "lively

centers" that encourage

socialization; and the

architecture of the

whole, where design

elements-streetscapes,

public spaces, and housing structures-meld into a unified

picturesque scene.

This vision book establishes an

early visual design compass for

the project by providing

character imagery and

supporting text to

illustrate conceptual design direction. Quite simply, this

study answers questions like: what can the development look

like and what makes it distinctive?

Illustrating possibilities of architectural style, spatial

character, and special features, the vision book sets an overall

visual tone for the community and fosters a sense of place by

providing visual design direction for the community.

LLake Nona South is a community of historical ambiance. It is

inspired by the distinctive character of European towns and

villages; some of the finest examples of social friendly living

form, where art and beauty marry form and function. Lake

Nona South embodies the spirit of community living and

reflects the best in suburban neighborhood design through it's

innovative architecture and land planning. The end result is

a beautiful blend of commercial, residential and

community features, offering future residents with a

variety of housing options.

The strategic land plan utilizes various traffic calming

techniques, featuring pedestrian-friendly streets and

sidewalks designed to energize community life and emphasize

the social needs of the residents. It is a walkable town, where

one can stroll through the parks from home to work, walk to

the corner drug store, or window shop at the town center.

Surrounded by water, the lakes

become more than a

shimmering back drop...

here, they become a part of

life. Residents will find

pleasure right around home

in many different forms.

From fishing to canoeing to

boating and skiing, there is

something for everyone.

Strategically designed, the

buildings are clustered along

a network of pedestrian

walkways, giving the feeling of a traditional "village" as might

be found in older European towns or early American

settlements. Small parks are interwoven into the

neighborhoods, allowing a place for children to gather and

play safely while others can gather at outdoor sitting areas.

Lake Nona South consists of twelve separate villages, each

with its own distinguishing entrance monument that will

promote neighborhood cohesiveness and identity. A series of

lakes throughout the community also separate and help

distinguish these individual neighborhoods.

The architectural and social anchor of the community is the

Village Center, a series of quaint store fronts where families

come to stroll, browse and shop while enjoying the feelings of

a true village atmosphere. Featuring close-to-home shops

and services, this center draws on a lively mix of color and

materials to further enhance inviting gathering places for

neighbors and events. Those seeking good food and fun will

be drawn to the center, a retail, dining and recreational

destination for all residents, where they can enjoy the

convenience and the excitement that the Village Center has

to offer.

The Village Center is a mix of main level retail or commercial

with upper levels for residential living. This unique design

contributes to the appearance of a traditional downtown area,

but also caters to the needs of today's modern lifestyles.

Great public spaces are the hallmark of great cities. Places

where people can gather for rest, recreation and the

enjoyment of the outdoors. Each village at Lake Nona South

features a community green, a place where kids can play

without having to worry about their safety. A large gazebo

stands in the clearing and will be a welcome spot for summer

concerts and neighborhood parties. The village parks provide

a sense of fellowship among the residents, fostering a sense of

community responsiveness.

The most prominent facilities in the community are the

community centers. Each village features it's individual

community center; a community gathering area that offers

more than just tennis, basketball, fitness clubs and

swimming. The clubs will also offer instruction on arts and

crafts, computers, photography, and music. With an

abundance of activities, such as a cyber library, a game room

for children, and a theatre, the community center will soon

become the sought after location for entertainment. The

swimming pool, tennis courts and golf putting green are

located behind the community centers. The club also features

dining facilities and grand parlor, perfect for intimate or large

social gatherings.

Parks and trails, acres of open space

and lakeside neighborhoods offer

residents year-round recreational

opportunities and a backdrop of

lasting beauty for their distinctive

homes. Designed to live as good as

it looks, Lake Nona South delivers

an incomparable lifestyle and

quality of life for its residents. Lake

Nona South is the kind of

community that everyone has driven

though and longed to reside in. It's

the kind of place where one can call

the whole community home, where

one feels connected to their

neighbors and surroundings.
