Designed to Grow, Rooted in Charm

In a world of ever-evolving design trends, Sawyer at Bedford by Tri Pointe Homes offers a refreshing return to traditional design interpreted for today’s families. Located in Corona, California, this walkable, design-forward community of 59 front-loaded, two-story homes blends architectural integrity with contemporary flexibility. With three distinct elevation styles of Transitional Spanish, California Bungalow, and Transitional Farmhouse, Sawyer’s offers depth beyond curb appeal. It’s a four-sided architectural experience that enriches the neighborhood streetscape and welcomes its residents home with warmth and character.

Each elevation style is expressed through a curated palette of materials and colors that celebrate traditional design while embracing modern sensibilities. In close collaboration with WHA’s Color Studio, the design team draws inspiration from community context, natural surroundings, and regional climate to craft timeless, well-balanced palettes that elevate the community’s character. This integrated, in-house approach allows architecture and color to evolve together, giving the builder greater project control and ensuring a cohesive and compelling final product.

The Transitional Spanish exterior evokes timeless charm with terracotta-hued concrete ‘S’ tiles that mimic the look of classic clay roofs. Warm whites, ivory, and sand-colored stucco create a sun-washed backdrop, while saturated brown and deep wood tones define trim elements like fascia, barge boards, lap siding, and garage doors. Arched entryways and subdued jewel-toned front doors of muted reds, greens, and blues, add a layer of sophisticated charm that feels both inviting and enduring.

The California Bungalow elevation grounds each home in its natural surroundings with rich, earthy tones and organic textures. Shake-style concrete roof tiles give the appearance of wood, while manufactured stone in warm brownish hues becomes a focal point that informs the entire color scheme. Shingle siding at the gables, shutters, and entry doors are rendered in a subdued muted green, complemented by cool-toned taupey brown lap siding and garage doors. A neutral tan stucco body and tonal off-white trim applied to outlookers, fascia, barge boards, and eaves complete the look with understated elegance.

For buyers drawn to crisp lines and playful charm, the Transitional Farmhouse elevation delivers a popular exterior style. Flat slate concrete tiles and metal roof accents in warm gray and charcoal tones establish a modern yet rustic foundation. Mid-value neutral stucco shades of tan and gray offer versatility, while bright white trim highlights gable siding, garage doors, and fascia. Board-and-batten siding introduces fresh energy with bright greens, blues, and whites, while accent colors like rustic orange, bright yellow, and classic black add a punch of personality to entry doors and focal points.

What sets Sawyer apart is its commitment to four-sided architecture, WHA’s design approach that ensures every elevation is intentionally composed from every angle. Whether facing the street, backing up to a neighbor, or viewed from across the park, each home contributes to a cohesive and visually engaging neighborhood. This attention to detail reinforces a sense of place and pride, creating a streetscape that feels curated, connected, and complete.
