Designed by Hart Howerton with the vision and principles of Phase 4 in mind, The Silva will comprise a central event lawn, a conditioned pavilion opening onto the lawn, a pool, and a covered terrace with a bar and casual, full-service dining experience. Easily accessible to the rest of the community and tying seamlessly into its natural setting, this verdant and vibrant space will host family and friends while celebrating the uniquely precious natural landscape.

“This is where the town transitions into the forest and connects to the winding boardwalk weaving through the pine woodland,” says Hart Howerton’s partner, Tim Slattery. “The Silva is where you can find shade, seasonal color, and a restful retreat from the heat of the afternoon sun. The neighborhood streetscape is characterized by a reflective canvas of undulating white garden walls that open into landscaped courtyards and gardens—all set against a variegated assortment of the green and gold textures of the rugged natural setting. It’s a neighborhood that is a bit more ‘country’ than ‘town.’”

The Phase 4 homes and their grounds are designed together, each interconnected and balanced. An open arrangement of indoor spaces extends to outdoor garden rooms and courtyards covered by trellises and arbors that screen and shade from the sun. Outdoor gathering places for dining or lounging, screened garden rooms, and carefully located pools maximize each property’s full use and enjoyment. The courtyard and garden-scale landscapes are selected to transition naturally into the surrounding coastal pines, palmettos, oaks, and scrub. The interior design selections bring the natural palette indoors with soft, neutral tones, greens, blues, and silvery grays.
