Welcome to Oakbrooke... A new "cummunity" located in the heart of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Oakbrooke will have character, which is lacking in other single-family residential neighborhoods. Residents and visitors are greeted by the Oakbrooke "Wishing Well" and its symbolic promise of hope. The wishing well is reflective of Paradigm's efforts to offer the community goals of Oakbrooke to the public. This element, along with its associated signage and landscaping, will help establish the individual character of Oakbrooke, faciliate the creation of community pride among neighbors, and will assist to create a sense of "place"upon arrival.
Paradigm's Mission...The Oakbrooke Community Project is Paradigm's initial attempt to demonstrate that a sustainable development can incorporate architecturally designed homes that are energy efficient, environmentally low-impact yet are "affordable" investments the owners can be proud of for years to come.
From the Designer... Unlike contemporary cookie-cutter subdivisions, Oakbrooke is a step toward a complete community. Design principles have been implemented to create a distinct identity and to foster the development of community interaction. As you are most likely aware, this approach is different from the typical subdivision design approach employed by Design Professionals for the last 50 or so years.
The idea behind Oakbrooke is to create a neighborhood with an "old-fashioned" character. Oakbrooke will have homes available to a wider range of families from varied social/economic backgrounds. Large family homes will not over-power beginner, or more "affordable" homes. Interaction between diverse groups of residents is expected and encouraged.
The streets of Oakbrooke, along with the individual homes that front those streets, are designed to reflect a time in our country's history that a large percentage of the population considers "the good ol' days". There are no "dead end" streets, but friendly access given to all areas. Connectivity is supplied to all surrounding developments, both existing and future. Intersections are designed to be as convenient to pedestrians as they are to automobiles. Sidewalks are located on both sides of the street to allow safe passage for pedestrians and interaction among friends.
The homes of Oakbrooke are located forward on the lot to create an exterior neighborhood "room" in the street. The structure will incorporate usable front porches pulled close to sidewalks, to encourage interaction among neighbors and create a buffer between the private residence and the public space of the street. Smaller side setbacks help create the exterior public space by decreasing the amount of negative space in the unused side yards. Garages are located to the rear of the lots to move the blank garage door "face" away from the home. Private space is created in the back yards using the garages as screening devices. Automobiles are moved from the front of the lot to the rear, and paving is minimal by the insertion of green space within the drive and permeable parking pads. The homes of Oakbrooke say, "People live here, not cars".
The first four homes are going up now! Call Nicky Dou to find out how you can make one of these yours... Oakbrooke will be the place to live in Fayetteville! 479.236.3457. You can also email Nicky requesting some of the floor layouts of the homes in Oakbrooke - nicky@nickydou.com email or call me today!

Northwest Arkansas enjoys a generally benign climate whose occasional winter fronts with their low temperatures and heavy precipitation only serve to emphasize the otherwise relatively mild winters. Summers can be hot and humid but highs seldom exceed the low 90's. Tornadoes and sudden electrical storms with hail are quite common during spring and summer. The colors of Fall, the green profusion of Spring, and the gentle and comfortable temperatures of both of these transition seasons bring pleasure to all.
