PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This new home is a warm and inviting haven, born from a collaborative design effort that blends craftsmanship, comfort, and natural beauty. It’s exterior a mix of smooth stucco, warm wood accents, and large, panoramic windows that invite sunlight and ocean breezes inside. Inside, each room is thoughtfully curated, with rich textures and tactile materials that make the space feel lived-in and organic from the moment you walk through the door.
The open-concept living areas are seamlessly integrated, with reclaimed wood beams, polished stone countertops, and soft, earthy tones that create a calming atmosphere. The kitchen, designed for both beauty and functionality, opens to a spacious dining area, perfect for gatherings. Custom-built shelving and artisanal fixtures throughout the home showcase the unique collaboration between local craftsmen and designers. Outdoor spaces flow effortlessly from the interior, with a spacious patio and terraced garden, ideal for enjoying California’s temperate climate. Every detail, from the hand-selected tiles to the hand-forged iron railings, reflects the care and teamwork that went into creating a space that is not just a home, but a tactile, sensory experience.
