Bringing a Historic Riverside Landmark Into the Digital Era

Located in Riverside, California, FarmHouse Collective is the adaptive reuse of a nearly 10,000-square-foot motel originally built during the 1950s.

Instead of replacing the property's history, the vision focused on preserving its architectural identity while transforming it into a vibrant destination filled with locally owned restaurants, boutique retail shops, and outdoor gathering spaces.

Located just blocks from UC Riverside, the development was inspired by Costa Mesa's celebrated anti-mall concept, creating a walkable environment centered around local businesses, craftsmanship, and community.

The restoration carefully preserved original buildings, landscape elements, and architectural details while introducing a modern experience built for future generations.
