Villebois – Rainwater Management Plan Part Cinq (French for five)


Villebois Bioswales

What’s Next?

The next steps are to begin the testing and monitoring program, and to start construction of the rainwater management techniques. The mitigation ponds will be the first to be built, followed by porous pavers, bio-retention cells and, finally, green roofs.

Why Villebois residents LOVE where they LIVE


Villebois residents are passionate about their community. Do you LOVE where you LIVE?

“My name is Dan and my wife is Allison.

We have two daughters, (8 and 3). I mention their names because they factor greatly when we delve into the reasons we love Villebois. It’s a GREAT community to live in if you have kids. But let’s see… where to start….

Let’s start with the unique architecture. Let’s pretend you had magical powers and you took any average American observant female (let’s use a female since males can’t typically tell you what color socks they’re wearing at that moment) and you could snap your fingers and she would appear in our neighborhood for 1 minute and then she was magically transported to other neighborhoods around here and around Portland for 1 minute each. Let’s say she saw 20 neighborhoods in this magical ride she was on. The only one she’d remember is Villebois. It reeks of authenticity and uniqueness. Almost every other neighborhood’s designers, for whatever reason, love to operate from the same architectural playbook. I don’t know why that is. When we went looking for a home, almost every place we came to was either a craftsman or the garage sticking out with front door recessed…etc. Villebois, although we do have standardized plans, doesn’t look so bland and blah. Especially with the intricate European flavored details. Of course, the emphasis on green space is important, too, but it’s the front and center front doors, in relation to the sidewalk, that gives the architecture it’s crowning friendliness………”
