Casa Lucero in Estrella Receives Excellence in Masonry Architectural Award

COSTA MESA, Calif., Oct. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Estrella welcome center, Casa Lucero, was selected as a winner at the 30th Annual Excellence in Masonry Architectural Awards by the Arizona Masonry Council. This award recognizes projects for their outstanding masonry design, workmanship, and creativity with the use of brick, block, or stone. The firms involved in this project include Swaback, TLCP Structural Inc., True North Builders, Sutter Masonry, Quality Block, and Anasazi Stone Company.

The craftsmanship and attention to detail that went into designing and building Casa Lucero is evident. "We would like to thank the Arizona Masonry Council for recognizing Casa Lucero for this award," said William Olson, senior vice president of Estrella. "It's not only a great honor for Casa Lucero, but a great achievement for the entire Estrella community."

Casa Lucero was designed to complement the existing character of Estrella and bring a freshness to the community with creative site features, components, and elements. Its visual character takes cues from some of the materials used on the community's nearby Star Tower including the rusted steel and natural stone boulders. In addition, timber, painted metal, wrought iron, board form concrete, and slump block help tie Casa Lucero to the Lucero village and to the greater Estrella community.

"I can remember in one of our earliest meetings with Bob McLoed when he said; 'it all comes down to the art of the possible.' This team took that wisdom to heart and it's a credit to all involved," said Mike Wetzel, partner of Swaback.

Known as Estrella's welcome center, Casa Lucero is where prospective residents can visit to learn more about the community amenities and active new home builders. It also serves as the central hub for existing residents who seek to have fun, connect, or relax. It features Café Bebida, Cooper State Bike & Hike shop, a cozy living room, and plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Whether you're an existing or incoming resident, Casa Lucero is an excellent place to visit as it embodies the spirit of the community and showcases why so many people choose to call Estrella home.
