Valley Vista

The idea

Valley Vista is a large 1990s estate with the bones of something better: double-height volumes, a courtyard the house wraps around, and mountain views from nearly every room. The renovation strips the heavy Tuscan layer and replaces it with a lighter Mediterranean Transitional language, with steel-and-glass arches, limed beams and a plaster palette that lets the architecture read.

The design canon is deliberately narrow: roughly seventy percent warm white, fifteen percent light wood and limestone, ten percent espresso and black, and five percent blush and aged brass used like jewelry. One blush niche, one blush bath, never the main kitchen.

Phase 1

Phase 1 is underway now: new flooring throughout both levels, kitchen and dining reconfiguration, ceiling and lighting work in the main living spaces, cabinetry, interior and exterior plaster, full repaint, and a refreshed front landscape. The casita wing and tiled baths follow in the next phase.
