The park draws its design from Roman architect Vitruvius' only surviving work, De Architectura. Savoye, the first phase was designed to feature 744 multifamily housing units, 26,000 square feet (2,400 m²) of retail^[4] and a 12-acre (49,000 m²) public park including a spring-fed creek, bridges and trails.^[2]

In December 2012, the City of Addison debuted the Vitruvian Lights: Magical Nights of Lights, in which the park was decorated with 1.2 million light bulbs in nine different colors on more than 500 trees. It subsequently became an annual event.^[5][6] The park hosted its second "Vitruvian Lights" in 2013.^[7][8]
