The front of the property which was previously unrendered, had no garden and no street appeal.
Canexel Construcciones
Esta casa diseñada y construida por Canexel se encuentra situada en una parcela con una pendiente muy pronunciada. Pendiente que seguía el curso de la calle y que dio lugar a que el terreno se dividiese en dos niveles: uno superior desde el que se proyecta el volumen de vivienda propiamente dicha, con planta baja y primera planta; y un segundo inferior reservado al sótano y garaje por un lado y, por otro, la zona social de piscina. Así, y debido al diseño de la vivienda se generan dos porches en la vivienda, uno en planta baja en forma de terraza y otro junto a la piscina bajo dicha terraza. Se aprovechan así las condiciones de desnivel de la parcela en beneficio del aprovechamiento de la misma.

ALVAREZ-DIAZ & VILLALON
Photography by Carlos Esteva.
When this private client, a married couple, first approached Álvarez-Díaz & Villalón to build ‘the house of their dreams’ on the grounds of their sprawling family estate, the first challenge was to identify the exact location that would maximize the positive aspects of the topography while affording the most gracious views. Propped up on scaffolding, juggling digital cameras and folding ladders, the design team photographed the property from hundreds of angles before the ideal site was selected.
Once the site was selected, construction could begin.
The building’s foundation was raised slightly off the ground to disperse geothermal heat. In addition, the designers studied daily sunlight patterns and positioned the structure accordingly in order to warm the swimming pool during the cooler morning hours and illuminate the principal living quarters during the late afternoon. Finally, the main house was designed with functional balconies on all sides: each balcony meticulously planned ~ and precisely positioned ~ to
both optimize wind flow and frame the property’s most breath-taking views.
Stylistically, the goal was to create an authentic Spanish hacienda. Following Old World tradition, the house was anchored around a centralized interior patio
in the Moorish style: enclosed on three sides ~ yet
open on the fourth (similar to the Alcázar of Seville) ~ to reveal a reflecting pool ~ and mirror the water motif of the home’s magnificent marble fountain. A bell tower, horseshoe arches, a colonnaded,vineyard-style patio, and
ornamental Moorish mosaic tilework (“azulejos”) completed this picturesque portrait of a faraway fantasy world of castles, chivalry, and swordsplay, reminiscent of Medieval Spain.
Shortly after completion, this showcase home was showcased on the TVE Spanish television series Spaniards Around The World (Españoles Alrededor
Del Mundo) as a prime example of authentic Spanish architecture designed outside the peninsula. Not surprising. After all, the story of a fairy-tale retreat as
magical as this one deserves a happy ending.
Dawson & Clinton
This 11,750 square foot mansion lies in Hillsborough, CA. Working with the existing massing of the home, the design is inspired by traditional architectural forms, utilizing columns and large courtyards to accentuate the grandeur of the residence and its setting.
Extensive traditional casework throughout the home was integrated with the latest in home automation technology, creating a synergy between two forms of luxury that can often conflict.
Taking advantage of the warm and sunny climate, a pool and courtyard were added, designed in a classical style to complement home while providing a world class space for entertaining.
North Coast Design
This yard frontage includes an open garage area with motorcycle storage. It includes an existing window from the inside of the house that the council wanted to remain.
The white timber balustrade is a common theme on both the ground and upper floor, and continues inside the residence.
The exposed aggregate drive was completed in a manor as to not disturb the existing street tree (not pictured)
