INTRODUCTION
1.1
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
These Design Guidelines are intended to provide
standards, guidelines and procedures for all new
construction in Wimberley Place (residences,
landscape, site work, etc.). They are meant to help
assure the development of a unique community
with an integral relationship between each site,
the architecture and landscape design. (Please
refer to the Wimberley Place Modification
Guidelines for additions or modifications to your
existing home.)
Goals:
o To provide visual order, privacy, and
compatibility to the varied residences designed
by different architects during the life of the
community.
o Establish a way of building and landscaping
that encourages the personal vision of each
resident while simultaneously contributing to
the community through unsurpassed design
quality.
o Inspire a quality of timeless tradition to each
residence that will insure a community of
continuing value and pride and to minimize
disorder, encroachments, nuisances and
conflicts.
These Guidelines are not intended to be a
substitute for the requirements of any governing
agency or any applicable codes. They are intended
to supplement those governmental requirements
and ordinances and to coordinate and direct the
aesthetic of the designs.
Twin Creeks Community Association, Inc. 2016
These Guidelines may also be amended from time
to time by the Architectural Control Committee
(ACC). It is the homeowner’s responsibility to
ensure that they have current guidelines and have
reviewed the Declaration for the Development.
1.2
ARCHITECTURAL CONTROL COMMITTEE
(ACC) AND PROCEDURES
The objectives of the Design Guidelines are to
encourage and foster careful design so there is
harmony between the homes, their sites and the
overall image. Emphasis is placed on utilizing your
property to its fullest potential within the Design
Guidelines. To achieve this end, all residences in
Wimberley Place will be reviewed by the ACC (also
known as the New Construction Committee). The
review and approval process and Design
Guidelines will ensure continuing high quality and
compatibility of design within the custom lots and
overall framework.
The ACC consists of 3 members appointed by The
Twin Creeks Community Association. The ACC will
work in cooperation with the review architects,
SHM Architects, who will review all plan
submittals and report to the ACC. The purpose of
this committee is to oversee and provide direction
to the individual, the architect and Owner
regarding a home's compliance and overall
harmony with adjoining homes and the
streetscape.
The ACC will review all plan submittals and
provide written approval/denial to the applicant
within 15 business days of submittal. The applicant
is required to submit a total package of submittals
for review and approval (Please see Section 6).

DESIGN GU I DE L I N E S
As of June 2016
The ACC and Design Guidelines are intended to
enforce reasonable controls with regard to
various aesthetic considerations for Wimberley
Place. These controls are not meant to duplicate
or supersede the functions normally provided by
public agencies, but rather to coordinate and
direct the design and construction of the custom
lots with different architects, landscape
architects, engineers, contractors and their
owners to achieve a pattern of quality and
outstanding character.
The ACC will consider the design of each individual
residence to be as important as the relationship of
the residences to each other.
All plans and specifications submitted to the ACC
shall be prepared by Architects and Landscape
Architects licensed to practice in the State of
Texas.
The following guidelines have been developed
with the authority of the Declaration of
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions (as
amended, the Declaration) for Wimberley Place
and are binding on all persons who construct,
remodel or maintain any building or property
within the community (collectively referred to as
"Owner").
The ACC has the authority to approve deviations
from any of the requirements of this document.
Any request to deviate from these guidelines will
be evaluated at the sole discretion of the ACC, and
that approval of deviations will be limited to only
those circumstances which these guidelines may
not have foreseen. Proposals for deviations
must demonstrate a consistency with the overall
Philosophy of the development and will not
Twin Creeks Community Association, Inc. 2016
adversely affect adjoining parcels or the
development as a whole. It will be the
responsibility of the lot Owner to notify in writing
the surrounding property Owners of the request
for deviation. The ACC also reserves the right to
waive any of the procedures or processes
delineated in these guidelines if deemed
appropriate.
Each lot submittal will require a non-refundable
review fee of $2,000 to cover the processing and
review by professionals. In addition, there will be
a $2,500 compliance deposit which will only be
returned when the ACC has issued a certificate of
compliance following completion of construction.

ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
2.1
OVERALL ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
The architectural design philosophy of Wimberley Place is intended to develop a look and feel of "timeless"
architectural design. The vocabulary selected is based on the architectural traditions and design heritage and
includes six basic "styles":


Mediterranean Villa

Italian Country Villa

English Country/English Tudor

French Country/French Normandy

Transitional
Spanish Hacienda
The execution of each residence must be “traditional" or “transitional” in character and should be such that
the residence fits the property with sensitivity and respect for the land and its surroundings. If a stucco
design is planned, the colors used must be soft tones in shades of white, gray, tan or cream. No exterior
designs of an "extreme" contemporary nature will be considered for construction in Wimberley Place.
The Wimberley Place Architectural Control Committee reserves the right to deny any architectural submittal
that will, in their sole judgment, be inconsistent with the surrounding designs.
Twin Creeks Community Association, Inc. 2016

DESIGN GU I DE L I N E S
As of June 2016
2.2
MEDITERRANEAN VILLA
The style reflects the architectural influences of the Mediterranean coast: Renaissance and Classical themes
from Italy, Byzantine and Moorish themes from southern Spain and Renaissance themes from France.
This style can be characterized by massing of simple, proportional relationships that easily reveal a clarity of
organization. Sometimes structures take the form of a
hierarchically unified group of buildings dominated by
pedimented fronts and linked together by external loggias
and open arcades. Overall, the layouts of these villas are
symmetrical with a linear arrangement of rooms along
dominant axes. Patios, courtyards, balconies and loggias
replace the front porches are predominantly low-pitched
barrel tiles with elaborate stone cornices, balustrades and
stone finials. While the predominant wall material is
smooth stone on the larger villas, plaster is common with
limestone, ceramic tile and terra cotta for ornament.
Window openings are typically smaller in this style with
more wall mass and grand balconies are commonly
employed above elaborate classically detailed entries.
Other elements often featured include parapets, twisted columns, pediments, and arches.

2.3
SPANISH HACIENDA
Hacienda is a Spanish word describing a vast ranch.
These were grand rural estates that were typically
dedicated to the raising of cattle. They were
dominated by grand Spanish colonial estates and
were similar in style to the mansions, which the rich
upper class of southern Italy and southern Spain were
building. This style was also described as
Mediterranean or Spanish Colonial. It dominated the
early Spanish Colonies of North and South America
and is marked by the contrast between the simple, solid construction demanded by the new environment
and the ornamentation exported from Europe.
As these haciendas are frequently settlements complete to themselves they were comprised of many
buildings, utilized for various functions, linked together by colonnades around a central courtyard. Other
configurations included rectangular or L-shaped layouts and were predominately one-story with horizontal
massing. These configurations were typically asymmetrical and were comprised of cross gables and side
wings.
Characterized by a combination of details from several eras of European and Mexican Architecture, the
haciendas were frequently remodeled in the current fashionable style.
Other primary characteristics included the use of plaster walls with terra cotta or carved stone
ornamentation. Depending on the style, this ornamentation could be simple to extremely ornate. Roofs
were simple shaped, low-pitched, clay barrel tile roofs. Other typical ornamental elements (depending on
the architectural influence) included heavy wrought iron window grills, heavy wood shutters, balconies,
deep-set windows, semicircular arched windows and arcades, and canvas awnings.

ITALIAN COUNTRY VILLA
A Villa was originally a Roman country house built for the upper class.
Twin Creeks Community Association, Inc. 2016
Page 12
DESIGN GU I DE L I N E S
As of June 2016
There were two kinds of villas, the villa urbana, which was a suburban estate, and the villa rustica, a
farmstead estate which was only seasonally occupied by its owners.
Like the Spanish haciendas, the villas were frequently settlements complete to themselves and were
comprised of many buildings linked together by colonnades around a central courtyard. Other
configurations included rectangular or L-shaped layouts. While informal in their materials, they still held to
more formal principles of design in their layouts and massing. Critical to this style was the relationship of the
villa to the surroundings though its gardens.
Massings were of simple block shapes with low-sloped terra cotta tiled roofs.
Stone walls were left natural or covered with a rough layer of stucco. With vaulted ceilings and terra cotta
tile floors, rustic simplicity was the hallmark of this style. As with the Renaissance architecture of Florence,
these villas also employed loggias and open arcades as unifying elements and created opportunities for
exterior protected living spaces during the cooler evenings.
Palettes of earth browns, robust greens and transparent blues result in an architecture that blends subtly
with its surroundings. No harsh hues are used. Ochre browns of stucco palazzo and stone villas, wrought
iron window grills and accents of painted shutters are seen. Nothing but comfortable informal living. These
were comfortable rural country homes.

2.5
ENGLISH COUNTRY TUDOR
While typically massing was rectilinear and forms were angular, these homes still had an appearance of
having grown organically from their
surroundings. Craft and detailing
closely resembled elements from
the medieval Tudor period. More
formal renditions were laid out
axially and included detailing from
Renaissance and Elizabethan
Architecture.
They employed natural materials such as brick and stone in their construction. There was a deliberate
attempt at expressing surface textures of ordinary materials, such as stone and tiles, with an asymmetrical
building composition. Brick was very popular, laid in a Flemish bond or English bond. Other elements
included exposed wooden beams, gabled roofs, massive chimneys, thin slate or flat tile roofs and half
timbering.
Although this style professed a practicality of features and construction
and a "no need to impress" attitude it would produce some very
picturesque romantic residences.

DESIGN GU I DE L I N E S

2.6
FRENCH COUNTRY / FRENCH NORMANDY
A highly diverse section of France, Normandy had a varied vernacular architecture.
While the typical image was of a half-timber cottage, the manor house was frequently much more. These
country manor houses were full of rich and diverse textures and details with half -timbering carried to its
highest level of technical sophistication and art.
The massing of these Manors varied from randomly composed elements to classical symmetrically arranged
forms designed during the Renaissance period.
Ornate and colorful, often, playful, these manor houses were at times some of the most elegantly crafted
residences. Warm and comfortable but still elegant, the originality of these manors lay with the varied
palette of materials and how the eclectic ornamental assemblage of these materials were used in their
construction.
Facades of lively ornamental brickwork, patterns produced by diapering and checker work, were common.
Roofs were steep to extremely steep pitches with terra cotta flat tiles. Still, the half-timbering was what
most people associated with this style and it was primarily due to the detail found in the nagging and halftimbering. While the timberwork was in itself highly decorated with carvings, the masonry between the
Twin Creeks Community Association, Inc. 2016
Page 16
DESIGN GU I DE L I N E S
As of June 2016
timbers was what caught the attention first. An eclectic assemblage of patterns, color and texture this infill
masonry was highly decorative. Fragments of terra cotta roof tiles were the common material used, but
other materials with different colors and textures would also find their way into these decorative displays of
geometric and figurative motifs, separating them from the typical herringbone pattern found in most halftimbering.
This diversity of embellishments was highly original and the resulting overall appearance was one of the
most romantic styles of Architecture.

2.7
TRANSITIONAL
A clean edged, lighter, brighter, residential style of architecture. The “New Traditional” style is a blending of
the harder, heavier, abstract contemporary style with the detailing (albeit less) and massing associated with
the “traditional” styles of the past.
It is not a random collision of elements or materials nor is it simply a stripping of detail from a traditional
style. It is a method of using classical and traditional details and concepts in a contemporary way.
It is a carefully developed coherent 3-dimensional composition of massing, wall planes, materials,
fenestration elements, light and shadow, solid and void.
Typically this style is characterized by:
o
Asymmetrical massing with influences from the simple and clean edged qualities found in the
International style, art modern, or art deco; but softened with more traditional detailing. These are
not random assemblages but coherent and regulated compositions.
o
Simple forms typically without high pitched roofs. There is often an emphasis on the horizontal
with a juxtaposition of vertical detailing in fenestration elements such as windows and doors.
o
Thin cantilevered projections of roofs or balconies are also influential elements. Accordingly,
roof edges and eaves tight to vertical walls with simple detailing could also follow a transitional
style.
o
Window placement is primarily governed by façade composition requirements rather than a
more traditional exterior symmetry or interior room requirements.
o
The use of repetitive ornamental elements that are less detailed than traditional components
but not as simplistic and stark are contemporary lines.
o
Typically the composition relies on a utilization of the play of light and shadow. Color palette
should be considered as neutral and timeless.
o
Walled private forecourts, entry courts, or courtyards are integral to the 3-dimensional massing
design composition.
o
Materials are typically limited to 2 or 3 and applied much in the same way colors are applied –
primary (unifying material), secondary, and tertiary (accent material).
o
Materials are typically applied compositionally by mass; usually to planar elements and are
cleaner such as stucco, painted brick or smooth stone veneer and low contrast colors. The materials
and colors should create a smooth transition at inside corners rather than outer corners.
o
Materials such as painted brick and wood siding can be used as secondary materials as well.
o
Most commonly observed roof materials include slate tile and standing seam metal. Flat and
barrel clay tile roofs would not typically fit within a transitional style.
Twin Creeks Community Association, Inc. 2016
Page 19
DESIGN GU I DE L I N E S
As of June 2016
It is important to note elements to avoid:
o
High-pitched roofs.
o
Complex, multi layered roof forms.
o
Superfluous, random, or non-essential massing elements.
o
Varied wall cladding materials, especially when applied to single surfaces like wallpaper.
o
Random or multilayered plan offsets, typical of the previous “builder plans” from the last 50 years.
It is recommended that due to this style’s heavy requirement on aesthetic compositional elements that an
educated/trained design professional be employed to avoid a lengthy review approval process.

BUILDING HEIGHTS
The maximum height for any structure in Wimberley Place shall be two and one half (2 1/2) stories in height
or thirty-five (35) feet, per The City of Allen Ordinance No. 1172-5-93, PD No. 54. Building heights related to
houses are measured at the mid -point of a roof line, using the ridge of the eave as starting points. Thus, the
steeper the pitch, the higher the roof can actually be, allowing for variety in a neighborhood.
3.4
LOT COVERAGE
Unless otherwise determined by the ACC, the building lot coverage limitation shall be no more than 30%, per
the City of Allen Zoning Ordinance No. 1845-6-00, PD No. 54.
3.5
WINDOW RESTRICTIONS
Window restrictions and guidelines may be placed on certain Wimberley Place home sites with regard to the
placement of second story windows.
Please note ... the purpose of these guidelines is not to guarantee absolute privacy and line-of-sight
protection from every lot in Wimberley Place. These guidelines are written in an attempt to coordinate the
placement of 2nd story windows on adjoining home sites only, with no restrictions placed on "cross lots."
In determining a floor plans compliance with the window restriction for its particular lot, the Wimberley
Place ACC will address only the window's "placement/orientation" in making its decision. No attempt will be
made to restrict the "views afforded" by each 2nd story window.
Any questions on a plan's compliance should be directed to the Wimberley Place ACC.
Exceptions: In certain cases, the ACC may approve the use of non-functional obscure or opaque glass
windows on the second floor-restricted elevation.
Consideration will also be given to two-story living areas with windows placed on a restricted side that
extends from the first story on high ceilings.

No soldier course friezes.

Fascias should be detailed to style and scale, not just flat 1 x 6's. This is especially true for wall and
roof dormers.

Gable end vents would appear to be functional (not cast stone decoration).

Roof pitches and offsets.
o Minimum horizontal offsets are required so the roofs do not appear to merge together.
o Roof pitches required to match at visible hips.

LANDSCAPE
4.1
INTRODUCTION
The Architectural Control Committee encourages innovation and creative solutions in the design of each
estate, as long as the proposed design is consistent with overall design philosophy at Wimberley Place. The
compatibility and responsiveness to the neighboring lots (s) should be respected and an attempt to use
"Traditional Planting" is encouraged. No one planting style shall stand above the others when viewed from
the street.
4.2
LANDSCAPE DESIGN GUIDELINES
Maintaining these standards is the responsibility of the Homeowner under the rules of the HOA.
Plant material species shall be adaptable to Dallas area climate and microclimate for each estate. Tropical or
exotic species, such as palm trees, are discouraged unless used as an understated accent plant.
Large, specimen size trees must be planted to soften the scale of the structures, especially large blank walls
and tall structured elements. Trees should be clustered rather than planted in rows or with too many
varieties.
Evergreen, non-deciduous plants are encouraged with color accents as long as the plant material and design
conforms to the overall theme.
All new planted shade trees shall be a minimum of 6" in caliper. Ornamental trees shall be a minimum of 8'10' in height. All landscape material must be grade "A" quality. The ACC has the right to inspect the delivery
of plant materials to ensure it conforms with the Landscape Architects specifications.
All landscape plans must be signed and sealed by a registered Landscape Architect in the State of Texas.
4.3
IRRIGATION REQUIREMENTS
All landscape areas shall be fully irrigated with an automatically controlled underground irrigation system
with a water management program. Areas of separate maintenance responsibility shall be controlled by
separate controllers and/or separate control valves.
Twin Creeks Community Association, Inc. 2016
Page 32
DESIGN GU I DE L I N E S
As of June 2016
Irrigation systems shall be broken into the smallest zones possible with similar planting species and
sun/shade exposures to allow for greatest management control.
To minimize negative visual intrusion, all automatic valves shall be installed in valve boxes and the pop-up
variety of head used whenever application allows. All backflow control devices and controllers placed in
shrub areas shall be screened so that they are not visible.
The implementation of a water management program that reduces the overall water use based on soil type,
planting varieties and climatic conditions through the application of sound horticultural practices including
soils testing for fertilizer and visual soil moisture testing, is required. Monthly monitoring of the controller
settings for time settings is highly suggested.
All Irrigation plans must be signed and sealed by a licensed Irrigator in the State of Texas.
4.4
HOA COMMON AREAS
The common areas and landscape medians will be maintained and operated by the HOA.

Developer, Board of Directors and Residents take great pride in our community. The premiere
Twin Creeks neighborhood is Wimberley Place which features homes in the $1.5 million plus
range. In order to maintain this high value, Builders in Wimberley must demonstrate the
management and financial capabilities necessary to oversee projects of this scope. More
importantly, it is critical that a prospective Wimberley Place builder have a proven track record
for building homes of this magnitude.
The Twin Creeks Community Association Architectural Control Committee requests that you
