To promote the highest standards of architectural design found in the world's "most beloved places," Beachtown has engaged esteemed architects from throughout the United States to design homes in Beachtown. Beachtown architects are either members of the New Urban Guild of Architects or have worked in communities planned by Duany Plater-Zyberk and Company, town planners for Beachtown and many other New Urbanist communities. To ensure the use of consistent architectural standards, the town founder has commissioned one of the most comprehensive pattern books ever assembled for a Traditional Neighborhood Development. The Beachtown Pattern Book defines a code rather than instructions for design; creativity and variety are encouraged at Beachtown.
