Description

Our client on this project was himself a developer / builder and needed a cohesive design to re-imagine this suburban classic - the California ranch. The property had four separate structures on it dating from 1930 to 1950. He wanted a relaxed, kid friendly home, a quiet place from which to work and liked the idea of a resort ambiance. The result is a tropical flavored, warm and dramatic blend of wood, glass and ceiling trusses. The house was modernized with a spacious open floor plan, built-ins, stone and tile work. Water is used both in a reflecting pond just outside the glass walled living area, and in the large rock lined pool and waterfall beyond.
