Luxurious Simplicity
Traditional textures such as rough-cut stone and weathered wood blend with more contemporary elements ranging from smooth-trowel stucco, powder-coated metal, and glass. A second phase of construction, completed three years later, transformed the segmented kitchen and dining area into an open plan concept with a seamless connection to the lush courtyard oasis.
The sophisticated second story addition creates a loose dichotomy between the new structure and the previous single-story dwelling. In response to the home’s location and the owner’s design aesthetic, the second-floor addition is modest and makes no moves to disrupt the privacy of its neighbors.
The central courtyard relies on dense greenery, warm colors, and softly worn upholstery to temper the linear architecture. The laid-back style demonstrates careful control of materials and form, creating cohesion with the adjoining interiors and surrounding the space in luxurious simplicity.
