VILLEBOIS ARCHITECTURAL PATTERN BOOK

The Villebois Architectural Pattern Book was created to direct the development of neighborhoods and houses within the Villebois Village consistent with the vision in the Villebois Village Master Plan and to adhere to the Design Principles and Design Standards in the Village Zone section of Wilsonville, Oregon’s Development Code.   The Pattern Book defines specific standards for land uses, architecture, materials, colors, and other design elements.

The Lot Diagrams establish the lot sizes for the specific Land Use Types in Villebois.  They also establish the guidelines for placing the building on the lot and defining the neighborhood character.  The Lot Diagrams delineate the relationship of indoor space to outdoor space, and private outdoor space to semi-private and public outdoor space.  They allow builders to review where setbacks are measured to and how garages may be accessed.

The Appropriate Architectural Styles pages introduce the appropriate styles for the community of Villebois, and are reviewed for information about the architectural precedent and / or historic relevance of each style.  The Pattern Book incorporates architectural styles with proportions, massing, and details that are correct and consistent with local historical traditions and patterns, and promotes architecture that responds to the regional and climatic conditions affecting the Willamette Valley where Villebois is located.

The Basic Elements pages delineate the essential characteristics for each Architectural Style appropriate in Villebois: French Revival, American Classic, English Revival, and American Modern.  The Basic Elements include the elements, massing, and façade composition for each style.  Builders can review the massing, composition, and roof forms; the doors, windows, entrances and outdoor spaces, porches, chimneys, materials, colors, light fixtures, downspouts and gutters, and accents for each Architectural Style.
