EL OASIS SOUTH ELEVATION The Live Love project, El Oasis is a proposed community center located in Chander, Arizona that creates a space for people to gather, learn and live all within their own community. The design intent for the El Oasis project was inspired by the need for a space for the community to come together for a variety of uses. The space was inspired by one’s own yard. Small, intimate spaces around the site create the perfect place to hang out with friends, have an afternoon picnic or find a cool, shady tree to read under all in one safe and fun environment.

The goal for the site is to welcome all community members of all ages to enjoy the spaces. Features include a spalsh pad, private picnic areas, observation deck, community garden and orchard, outdoor classrooms, event lawn and plenty of seating to enjoy your surroudings. Plantings are dense and lush to reduce urban heat islands and many pervious surfaces to collect and reduce rain water runoff from the site.
