Disney has shared another behind-the-scenes look at the construction of their first-ever Storyliving by Disney community, Cotino, in California’s Coachella Valley.
Cotino Construction Update
An all-new virtual fly-through video gives viewers a ground-level view of the neighborhood’s streetscape complete with original home designs and a colorful landscaping palette that celebrates the vibrancy of desert flora: a variety of aloe and agave plants, flowering yucca and cacti, and more.
The neighborhood tour ends at the community’s Artisan Club. This voluntary club will be a go-to gathering place for club members and their guests, whether taking a dip in Cotino Bay, grabbing dinner at Architect’s Fork, or breaking a sweat during a fitness class. The Artisan Club is currently under construction but Disney said they would share a behind-the-scenes look soon.
The community’s first three model homes, built by award-winning homebuilder Shea Homes, are nearly complete. Disney shared a look at the model homes under construction earlier this year. The interior finishing touches are being made alongside exterior elements like rock detail and siding. Each of the three model homes under construction are part of different design collections infused with Disney magic from Imagineers.
The home pictured on the left above is part of the Cotino Agrarian Collection. It features natural materials like stone and timber paired with more contemporary shapes to create a charming yet modern style. The home on the right is part of the Cotino Oasis Collection. Its exterior design is inspired by the iconic, renowned mid-century modern architecture the area is known for.
Construction has also begun down the street on a model home from Woodbridge Pacific Group. Part of the Cotino Aspiron Collection, this home design collection is all about the artistic momentum of the Valley today. These homes will feature modern materials like glass and concrete, with pops of color to exude warmth and style with artistic flair.
The Shea model homes are expected to open in just a few weeks.
