The Private Village: a gorgeous Arts and Crafts'
residential community
Each exquisite estate home in South Pointe Manotick draws
inspiration from one of the most successful home design movements
of the 19th and 20th century — the 'Arts and Crafts'
movement. It was the Arts and Crafts movement's call for a
fusion of art and utility that ignited the genius of the great
designers like Frank Lloyd Wright, William Morris, and Louis
Tiffany. The Arts and Craft movement aimed for a design that
is human in scale, playful in detail, rigorous in proportioning,
pleasing in presence, and shaped by utility. It is a lasting
design ideal, which still inspires contemporary urban visionaries.
The South Pointe Manotick home you own will be an enduring
masterpiece, built to an exacting standard of quality rarely
achieved in the Ottawa region. These are homes that seem to
understand the reason for each design element they contain,
from the sensibly scaled and sheltered foyer, to the perfectly
situated stairways, and the welcoming, spirit-enhancing hearths.
No detail is to trivial to escape the attention of South Pointe's
design team: windows and doors are human scaled and well detailed,
handles, light fixtures —even drawer pulls complement and
enhance the "Arts and Crafts" design theme. At South Pointe,
the finest materials and the skill of Princiotta craftspeople,
create the sense of living in a treasure — a true work of
the homebuilder's art. There will never be another community
like it in Ottawa.

Neo-Urban Village - Commercial and 'Public
Space'
Studies of centuries-old village communities, and successful
planned village-style developments in North America have produced
an overwhelming urban planning consensus: villages work best
for people. Today a broad coalition of architects, developers,
sociologists, environmentalists, urban planners considers
the 'village' the habitat form of the future: the ideal type
of community to call home.
South Pointe Manotick's consciously planned 'public' centre
has been designed as the meeting place between residents and
the world. The village centre is also a great place to access
services and bask in the amenities of a great lifestyle. Enjoy
the experience of neighborliness as you join fellow residents
for an early morning fitness class with your own personal
trainer. Walk from your home to the village center to enjoy
the finest in services, like espresso at an authentic Italian
Café - Bistro, fine restaurants and many specialty
shops and services. Beautiful and charming South Pointe Manotick
will attract a world of visitors, with its vision of classic
country charm, great services and urban style. Only a fortunate
few will enjoy the privilege of living in South Pointe Manotick.
