Papillon

This spacious and gracious 4-unit Townhome project in Santa Ana's famous Rio Oro district offers executive-style eco-conscious living.

Papillon, French for “butterfly”, is the perfect moniker for this project.  Upon entering these 2800sf residences, whose lofted, open-air designs convey space and incorporate the outdoors, one easily imagines butterflies floating joyously between the interior spaces and the magnificent private gardens.

The 3BR / 2.5 bath units feature private garages, 9, 12 and 18 foot ceilings and dual skylights that illuminate upper level corridors & bath areas.  Each home has its own ELOY Wastewater Treatment system and solar hot water unit.

The project, built in about 10 months, was unique in that the only access to the gardens was through the covered living areas, thus landscaping and framing were done simultaneously.  This unusual circumstance demonstrates how exceptionally clean FRAME’s steel-frame system is - producing minimal dust, concrete waste and debris as compared to traditional construction systems.
