#ProjectHighlight LIVIA at Scripps Mesa is a 264-unit mixed-use development in San Diego’s Miramar Ranch North community, designed to foster connection and opportunity. This public-private partnership provides market-rate housing paired with a learning center, including dedicated subsidized units for district educators, alongside high-end amenities, and a 2,000 sq.ft. commercial space that will soon host Buon Cibo Deli Market & Eatery. At the community entrance sits the Scripps Mesa STEAM Lab, a 4,000 sq.ft. learning center for San Diego Unified School District students with flexible classrooms, a technology-equipped workroom, and a 700 sq.ft. outdoor garden. AO’s design embraces ornate Santa Barbara-inspired architecture, blending indoor and outdoor spaces to spark creativity and collaboration. From trellised gathering areas to a signature arched portal that transitions from vertical wall to seating, every detail encourages exploration and discovery. Together, LIVIA and the Scripps Mesa STEAM Lab create a vibrant, inclusive environment that supports both living and learning for students, educators, and residents alike.

Congratulations to AO client Sudberry Properties, Inc. on the opening of The Brynn at Civita, a key addition to the 230-acre master-planned community in Mission Valley. This milestone introduces 200 modern apartments to one of the San Diego region’s most visionary urban plans, activating a distinct terrace within the future phases of the Civita mixed-use village. AO’s design embraces San Diego Modernism, defined by clean lines, warm coastal tones, and layered textures. It integrates lush, themed courtyards that create intimate outdoor rooms and a strong connection to nature and sunlight. Anchored by a two-story amenity hub, The Brynn blends urban convenience with resort-style living, featuring a pool and spa, fitness studio, and indoor/outdoor club spaces. As part of Civita’s master plan, The Brynn strengthens a walkable, park-centric community where architecture and landscape work in harmony.
