Situated in the hip and upcoming neighborhood of Toluca Lake, overlooking the lakeside golf club, the house sits on a corner lot with extensive two-side private gardens. While the house is mainly influenced by a Mediterranean style, with arched windows and French doors, interior hallway arches and columns, romantic outdoor fireplaces, the interior style, however, leans toward a minimalist yet warm design. Black frame modern pocket doors in the living room creates a blurred interior/exterior transition with the 500 SQFT outdoor patio. The high modern vault ceiling design and its double height areas make the significance of the home’s scale even more compelling. The interior material palette is wholesome with earth and milky tones, in perfect symbiosis with the cyan pool and the deep magenta bougainvillea.

Una dimora creata su misura di famiglia. Così si potrebbe sintetizzare questa costruzione in legno, dallo stile semplice, ma progettata per consentire un elevato risparmio energetico, anche grazie alla presenza dei pannelli fotovoltaici in copertura. La casa si sviluppa su due livelli, con la zona soggiorno-cucina al piano terra e la zona notte al piano sottotetto, con un grande portico esterno contraddistinto da pilastri in c.a. intonacati, che movimentano la forma dell’abitazione in legno. I serramenti di tutta la casa sono in legno con doppio vetro, con la presenza di avvolgibili motorizzati in alluminio sulle grandi vetrate della zona giorno e della zona notte, mentre sono previsti oscuri in legno nelle finestre di più piccola dimensione verso il lato della strada.

The stable + clubhouse complex is quite a site to take in at dusk. Although we referenced California Romantica + Lilian Rice's styles, the Acropolis in Greece was our inspiration for the siting + massing.

Rivestimento in legno e pietra per questa prestigiosa dimora a due passi dalle colline del Prosecco. La casa in legno è impostata garantendo degli ampi portici su tutti i fronti, per permettere angoli di relax alla famiglia, e una protezione dal cocente caldo estivo. L’abitazione in legno si sviluppa prevalentemente al piano terra, prevedendo una scala interna per l’accesso alle camere nella zona notte al piano primo. I serramenti sono moderni e al tempo stesso eleganti, con una finitura laccato bianco sia interna che esterna, compresi di sistemi di ombreggiamento con tende oscuranti motorizzate nella zona giorno ed oscuri in legno nella parte notte. La casa è altamente isolata sia dal punto di vista termico invernale che termico estivo grazie a un cappotto di 16 cm in fibra di legno, che mantiene l’ambiente interno ad una temperatura controllata tutto l’anno e riduce l’impatto dei rumori esterni, che possono influire negativamente sulla qualità di vita all’interno della casa. Dal punto di vista impiantistico, l’abitazione raggiunge la quasi autosufficienza energetica grazie alla presenza di un impianto fotovoltaico, moduli di solare termico, riscaldamento a pavimento e una unità di ventilazione meccanica controllata per la qualità dell’aria interna.

This San Diego home exterior was remodeled with drought-resistant plants and materials, making this beautiful and tranquil hardscape. The hardscape extended the useable space well into the front-side yard with a matching firepit and seating space. What a relaxing way to enjoy the sunset in an easy-to-care-for front yard! www.choosechi.com. Photos by Scott Basile, Basile Photography.
