Royal Oaks
Location: Sun City, AZ
ROYAL OAKS, an independent living, assisted living, and memory care community in Sun City, Ariz., embarked on a major expansion of its campus, adding a 156-unit independent living neighborhood, renovated entry and rehabilitation center, and upgraded amenity spaces.
Completed in May 2023, Inspirata Pointe at Royal Oaks also offers three new dining venues, designed to provide a range of options for current residents as well as appeal to the tastes and desires of future residents.
The three restaurants—Indigo Kitchen, Copper Skye, and Azul—are centrally housed in the community’s Club Center, connected by a variety of walking paths and open to all Royal Oaks residents. Each venue takes inspiration from the natural Arizona landscape, with desert motifs, warm colors and patterns, wood accents, and bronze metals providing richness and contrast throughout.
Azul offers a sophisticated space with a sculptural light feature that creates a canopy over the seating area. For a curated experience, residents can sit at the chef’s table for a glimpse into the kitchen.
For more casual dining, Indigo Kitchen provides Mediterranean fare with an open kitchen, a range of seating options, and a view of the courtyard. Indigo Kitchen leads into Copper Skye, an inviting bar where residents can gather and connect.
Davella Studios provided a comprehensive programming and concept design study using resident focus groups to identify the restaurant concepts and then worked with the interiors architect to design the spaces and ensure project goals are met.
