RHA teamed with Thirtieth Street Architects to develop the design for Aliso Viejo Ranch.  The 7 acre site is the last remaining property from the Moulton Ranch that covered over 26,000 acres of south Orange County.  The design includes a new barn, foreman’s house, renovations to the existing barn, bunkhouse and storage sheds, walkways, seating areas, educational trails and signage, nut and fruit orchards, permeable concrete parking lot, and an aquaponics farm.  The team worked with a local aquaponics farmer on the design and is similar in concept to the farmer’s other site, Riverbed Farm in Anaheim.  RHA designed the farm to have natural streams and ponds that hold the fish that provide water and fertilizer to the raised garden planters.  The entire site serves as window into the history of the Moulton Ranch and California and includes 27 pieces of authentic farm equipment from the original ranch located throughout the site along with signage describing the equipment and history of the ranch.
