construction goals
We built a custom winery, as Phase I, in this client’s two-phase construction plan. We returned to complete the residence, Phase II, of this Mediterranean inspired estate.
This custom home is completely constructed with masonry block. Colored stucco is placed on a majority of the exterior walls. Interior walls are framed in a more conventional framing construction, providing superior insulation of the entire structure. The conventional framing also allows for exposed architectural features to be seen throughout the residence. Two large stone fireplaces, a commercial wood burning pizza oven and a one-of-a-kind stair newel post are prominent features of the home. Terracotta tiles line the main floor, which is heated with a closed loop hydroponic system. All doors, windows, cabinets, and storage built-ins were custom, quality crafted.
The outside of the home boasts a copper awning, wrought iron rails, and a back patio overlooking both the estate vineyard and a beautiful in-ground pool. Solar collectors warm both the hydroponic floors and in-ground pool. A detached three car garage completes the estate residence.
