“It is a lovely lake straddled by an architectural bridge, with a common area (with trees and grass),” said Joel Deretchin, president of The Woodlands Association and vice president of public affairs for The Woodlands Development Co. “The design theme is the public garden in Boston — an urban lake surrounded by a meadow, trees and landscaping.”
