Editor’s Letter

HIS ISSUE IS AGAIN PROOF

of the creative wealth here in California. Our cover story itself is an example of the variety present in the architecture of this State, as architect Brion Jeannette, who despite initial skepticism from the surrounding neighborhood, managed to create a condominium project representing a surprising natural connection to this stretch of the Gold Coast. San Francisco designer Tineke Triggs worked with Randy Grange of TRG Architecture + Design and landscape architect Michael Callen, with landscaper Ramses Luna, to create a Southern Hemisphere oasis in the middle of suburban Hillsborough. We have featured over the past twenty years many of designer

Ann Fraser’s homes and she never disappoints. Her home in this issue is full of surprises. Designer Steve Thompson of Cabana Home in Santa Barbara always sends us the most classic homes like the one in Montecito. And to complete our features please see the twostory Mediterranean inspired villa in Lafayette designed by Ann Lowengart. I would be remiss if I did not mention our story in this issue on Krista and John Everage’s beautiful garden that is perfect for entertaining. Spending summer at home seems like a smart idea.

CRAFT CONTEMPORARY– LOS ANGELES Craft Contemporary presents Many featuring twelve Los Angeles-based artists who utilize multiples in their artistic practices. Their works range from the traditional, historic techniques such as printmaking and artist books to the practice of specific mark making, repetition of images or objects to transform their worn visual vocabulary into artwork. Several artists accumulate objects or images in reference to capitalist systems of mass production and waste. Together their works exemplify the unique power of multiples to record and disseminate information, amplify narratives, investigate various modes of labor and return production to the hand of the artist. Some of the artists featured are Saj Issa whose Ablution of Faith and Frustration features meticulously hand-painted ceramic tiles and artist Narsiso Martinez who does sensitive drawings of farm workers on produce boxes to “contrast the disparities of lifestyles between workers and owners.” The exhibit will run through September 11, 2022.

SANTA BARBARA MUSEUM OF ART Going Global: Abstract Art at Mid-Century has approximately thirty five works by artists born throughout the world and runs the gamut of mediums, from painting and sculpture to photography and lithography. Some artists even invented new mediums, including forms of kinetic art that appear to change as a spectator moves. The presentation includes familiar names, such as Isamu Noguchi, Bridget Riley and Pierre Soulages. There are also artists who deserve broader followings, such as Kenzo Okada who arrived from Japan in 1949 and showed with Betty Parsons, and Edward Chavez, a muralist for the Federal Art Project in the 1930s. Maria Helena Vieira da Silva is well known in France where she lived for sixty years. Her elegant blue and grey paintings suggest bustling cities or agricultural landscapes. Another abstract artist is Ernst Wilhelm Nay from Germany. The museum owns a brilliantly colored abstraction of his that was shown in the German Pavilion of the 1956 Venice Biennale. This exhibit runs through September 25, 2022. For more information, please visit soma.net.

DE YOUNG MUSEUM–SAN FRANCISCO The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco are proud to present the first retrospective of American artist Faith Ringgold (b. 1930, New York) on the West Coast. Faith Ringgold: American People brings together more than 50 years of work that shows the complexity of the American experience. Featuring a variety of objects: experimental story quilts, the painting series American People and Black Light, soft sculptures, performance objects and ephemera, the exhibit traces the development of Ringgold’s figurative style and thematic vision. Her paintings made during the civil rights movement are some of the most indelible artworks of that era. Long overdue, this retrospective provides a timely opportunity to engage with the art of an American icon. This is the most comprehensive assessment to date of Ringgold’s impactful vision. The exhibit will run from July16 through November 27, 2022. For more information, please visit famsf.org. 20 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

Patricia Chidlaw Jan’s Beachball, 2022 40 x 31 inches Oil on canvas

SKIDMORE CONTEMPORARY ART–SANTA MONICA Tracy Sylvester Harris merges past and present in her exhibition Diving Boards and Floating Girls on view at the Skidmore Contemporary Art gallery at Bergamot Station in Santa Monica. While Harris’ distinctive, nostalgic figures are associated with a previous time, she manages to ground the figures as relevant with her painting style. Harris says, “to avoid sentimentality, I keep the composition bold and cropped, the paintwork loose, drippy and rough. Even pushing some areas into abstraction.” Her ability to blend past with present encourages viewers to relate to her works. Without a definite time, place or person, audiences can visualize their own stories within her paintings. The works are on view from July 30 through August 27, 2022. The gallery is located at Bergamot Station, 2525 Michigan Avenue, B-4, Santa Monica, CA. For more information, please call 310.828.5070 or visit skidmorecontemporaryart.com

SULLIVAN GOSS: AN AMERICAN GALLERY–SANTA BARBARA An exhibition of new paintings by Patricia Chidlaw is now on view at the Sullivan Goss Gallery. As a realist painter, Chidlaw has long been attracted to reflection in water. She is known for, among other things, her paintings of urban and urban adjacent landscapes at twilight and dawn, often incorporating the changes of light selected in either a puddle, a river or a swimming pool. Over the course of her decades-long career, she has made painting of neon lights, street lights and both sun and moonlight reflected in water. For this show, she decided to explicitly showcase the ever-changing reflections that occur in swimming pools at all times of the day. The exhibition is titled The Pool Show to be the simplest description of her compelling paintings that offer up water in all its forms and colors: still water, rippling water, nighttime purple water, high noon turquoise blue water. The paintings are split evenly - half with figures in the pools, half without. The exhibit runs through July 25, 2022. The gallery located at 11 East Anapamu St., Santa Barbara, CA. For more information, please call 805.730.1460 or visit sullivangoss.com.

HAINES GALLERY–SAN FRANCISCO Ai Weiwei (born 1957, Beijing, China, lives and works in Portugal) is celebrated for his enduring and iconic artworks that address our shared urgencies. His sculptures and installations often reveal surprising sociopolitical dimensions, shedding light on people, places and events that might otherwise be forgotten. Such feeling is the guiding principle of Ai Weiwei: Everyday Monuments, Ai’s solo exhibition at Haines Gallery. Designed specifically for Haines’ new Fort Mason gallery, Everyday Monuments comprises 18 works in materials such as LEGO, marble, and wood, each a synthesis of complex historical, cultural, and political references. The exhibition is Ai’s first solo show in the Bay Area since 2016. The show will run through Ai Weiwei, August 27, 2022. Zodiac (Ram), 2018 LEGO bricks 45 x 45 inches

Books REVIEWED BY KATHY BRYANT

Inventing the California Look: Through the Lens of Fred Lyon Text by Philip E. Meza Photography by Fred Lyon Foreword by Jared Goss Interior design tastes come and go, especially in California. That is why we’re so lucky to have the photography of Fred Lyon in Northern California and Julius Shulman in Southern California whose photographs keep the designed rooms alive. This book is a testimony is Fred Lyon’s work as a documenter of interiors mainly in Northern California and features rooms by the famous designers who created what is sometimes referred to as the California Look. Among them are Frances Elkins, Anthony Hail, Michael Taylor, John Dickinson and Charles Pfister. As Jared Goss says in the book’s Foreword,” Because taste in furnishings and usage change often, rooms seldom exist in an unaltered state for even one full generation…Fully realized rooms—precisely as imagined by their designers—rarely survive intact, except as captured in documentation.” That is exactly what makes this book such a treasure. Step back into time and visit such iconic houses as the Whitney Warren Jr. house in San Francisco, 1947 or the John Dickinson house, San Francisco, 1973. From the 1940s to the 1980s, some of the best residences were decorated by designers who created unique settings that perfectly represented the times. They showcase the innovations of postwar Northern California interiors which continue to inspire designers today. So sit back and enjoy these historic rooms photographed by Fred Lyon, the quality of whose work has been likened to that of Henri Brassai and Henri Cartier-Bresson in terms of art. Unfortunately most of the photographed spaces featured in the book are gone or completely altered. Luckily they still exist on the page because of the photographic talents of artists like Fred Lyon.

Designs A New Collection With Ralph Pucci International PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANTOINE BOOTZ

ERUDITE ARCHITECT LEE MINDEL,

Principal of Shelton Mindel & Associates, spent several months during the pandemic in the RALPH PUCCI sculpture studio, working with master sculptor Michael Evert. “You have to ask the material what it wants to be in terms of form, structure, and finish. Because the pieces are manufactured right here in the PUCCI

workshop, you also have to factor in the skills of the workers who create incredible handmade works of art,” Mindel explains. The name of the collection, Latin for “truth,” is an homage to the motto of his alma mater, Harvard, and is emblematic of how he approaches creative endeavors. “As architects, our work is in pursuit of rigor and honesty, with the intent to transcend the ordinary, in search of the extraordinary.” Mindel’s influences are farranging: from Swedish ceramics to a town in France where great artists of the 20th century congregated, and, of course, architectural details from structures around the globe. Together with the artisans of the Manhattan-based RALPH PUCCI, he distills these elements into a collection characterized by organic forms, hand-sculpted textures, and thoughtful use of color. “You look, you study, but you never copy.

A New Boutique Hotel In Healdsburg Designed By Bay Area Designer Jay Jeffers PHOTOGRAPHY BY MATTHEW MILLMAN

WHEN THE WORLD WENT QUIET and we all

were hunkered down, the celebrated bay area designer Jay Jeffers was busy becoming a hotelier. Located in the agrarian Sonoma County, the property was originally built as a gabled private residence in 1881 during the Aesthetic Movement, a style that celebrates “beauty for beauty’s sake,” The Madrona is a historic showpiece that emphasizes the visual and sensual qualities of art and design. All aspects of the hotel, from the design to the restaurant menus, are inspired by the home’s original owners, the Paxton family, who were

distinctively Northern Californian, but loved to travel the world, collecting items and inspiration from their travels. The property is nestled on eight acres of lush, layered grounds with a collection of classic hotel rooms and private bungalows, offering guests highly personalized stays with a residential spirit. Spread across six buildings, most of which are original to the estate. The historic nature of the estate lends charming

Guest rooms in The Mansion sit above the signature restaurant and lounge spaces and include the original living quarters of the Paxton family.

GRACE & HARMONY

A MAGIC GARDEN Krista and John Everage’s Backyard Looks Like An Inviting Outdoor Party BY LISA BERNFELD | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ROCCO CESELIN

WHETHER THEY ARE ENTERTAINING

or relaxing, Krista and John Everage’s backyard looks like an inviting garden party, bursting with luscious colors, wafting scents, a myriad of textures and a sense of whimsy. When the Everages bought the 1930s Santa Monica bungalow, there was mostly box hedge and gravel, with one Meyer lemon tree. They turned the backyard not only into a wonderland of plants and flowers, but also a magical living area.

48 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

“We adore being outdoors, so we allocated the space into ‘rooms’ for living and entertaining – starting with the central space for removable dining tables, buffet, and bar. The adjacent area, which borders the rose garden, is defined with a huge umbrella and serves as the ‘lounge’ – the perfect spot to mingle and sip our special lemon and mint cocktails,” says Krista. A gently curved stone pathway creates a flow and softness that connects it all.

ABOVE Krista celebrates summer with friends, incorporating antique Flow Blue china, cranberry glass and garden blooms of the season on her table.

BELOW The garden path winds past the Everages’ studio–where they design bespoke furnishings and jewelry.

To visually enhance the size of the garden, they expanded the greenscape by treating the exterior of the house as a vertical garden, planting a variety of climbers on the stucco and trellises – Creeping Fig, Trumpet Vine, Grape Ivy – and two climbing rose varieties – Joseph’s Coat and Social Climber. Krista, who has a degree in interior architecture, employed her California Romantic interior design vocabulary to address the garden design. “Combining warm, layered lighting and gorgeous textiles with the natural plantings results in sweeping brushstrokes of color and luminosity.” That painterly aspect reflects John’s sensibility as well, as he holds a Masters Degree in Fine Art. Together, they formed Everage Design, Inc, creating luxurious interiors for clients throughout Southern California. The garden is filled with a variety of roses in the lush, rich colors – saturated pinks, oranges, and magentas – that have always inspired Krista, whose favorite color is magenta since she found it in a Crayola box as a little girl. Rose varieties include

Perfect Moment, First Prize and Gentle Glant, accented by Trumpet Vines (“they gave a meandering quality to all parts of the garden”), Ruby Hydrangea (“which the butterflies like a lot”), all manner of ferns (“adds softness in that life-affirming green”) and hanging baskets of fuchsia. And, they just planted swaths of magenta-colored Mexican Salvia, which attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. The Everages do not use herbicides or pesticides – only clippers and fingers – nurturing bees, birds and Monarch butterflies. “Last year, we released 25 butterflies from the habitat by planting Narrow Leaf Milkweed for the butterflies to lay their eggs. There’s nothing more delightful than watching butterflies dance.” CH

AVING MET ON THE WORLD’S MOST POPULAR

beach—Bondi Beach—these homeowners were looking to recreate a beachy vibe in their next home. What they uncovered in a dated and rustic midcentury modern structure was the perfect blueprint for their Australian-inspired modernstyle compound. Randy Grange, co-founder of TRG Architecture + Design and his team, along with San Francisco’s Tineke Triggs of Artistic Designs for Living, landscape architect Michael Callen, and landscaper Ramses Luna, created a Southern Hemisphere oasis in the middle of suburban Hillsborough. There are many design similarities between midcentury modern and modern Australian design as both look to the outdoors as an extension of a home’s living space. The bones of this design aesthetic were there, but the structure required an overhaul and update. And the private, tranquil lot had the potential for a resort-style outdoor entertaining area. The home’s placement on the site didn’t change, but TRG added 1,600 square feet on each end of the home with an elevator-accessible two-level wing, which houses a wine room and home theater, and a new primary bedroom suite.

In the common spaces, walls were removed and dark wood finishes were replaced with bleached oak flooring and lots of white and neutral paint, creating an airy and open floor plan. A butterfly roofline was added to the original home, making a dramatic space for the primary bedroom with a seamless wall of collapsible sliding glass doors that beckon you to the outdoor entertaining area. TRG partner Leslie Lamarre adds, “where the butterfly angle begins is where the original roofline ended.” Grange concurs, saying, “We used the existing roofline as a starting point for the renovation.” Designer Tineke Triggs created a modern and accessible interior with subtle placements of color and texture. As a longtime fan of Australian architecture, Triggs understood the homeowners’ vision. “The

62 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

design ethos does such a wonderful job blending natural woods with contemporary lines,” she says. “Texture from wood keeps a contemporary space from feeling cold, and the Australians do such a good job with that.” The homeowners decided on durable indoor/ outdoor stain- and fade-resistant fabrics for the upholstered furniture in the common area living spaces. Triggs picked light-colored soft-washed fabrics that felt calming and coastal. She navigated the homeowners’ desire for tropical accents by hanging aquatic-themed original photography and selecting more subdued colors like the azure area rug in the living room and the blue glass kitchen backsplash. “The backsplash looks like a pool of warm tropical waters,” she says.

Reflections of Surf & Sky DESPITE INITIAL SKEPTICISM, A COASTAL CONDOMINIUM PROJECT FROM ARCHITECT BRION JEANNETTE HAS BECOME AN INSTANT LANDMARK TEXT ROGER GRODY | PHOTOGRAPHY CHIPPER HATTER

Expansive glass—more than 100 linear feet for each condominium residence—reduces the perception of volume at Aerie, an instant Orange County landmark. Architect Brion Jeannette brings the sensibilities of singlefamily custom estates and the inspiration of Antoni Gaudí to a precious coastal bluff in Corona del Mar. JULY/AUGUST 2022 | 67

HRO U G H T HE Y E A R S , Newport Beach’s Corona del Mar neighborhood has stubbornly retained its idyllic seaside lifestyle. Therefore, the development of the Aerie condominium project, perched on a bluff overlooking Newport Harbor, was a contentious issue for more than a decade. But the completed project, with its undulating wave-inspired design by Brion Jeannette Architecture (BJA), represents a surprisingly natural connection to this stretch of the Gold Coast. While Aerie consists of only seven luxury condominiums, the five-story project drew opposition from some residents despite the fact it was replacing a

68 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

deteriorated 14-unit apartment complex. “Aerie reflects the hillside it sits on and connects organically to the waves and ocean,” explains Jeannette, who in addition to his playful brand of aesthetics is admired for infusing interiors with light and optimizing functionality. Expansive glass—each unit has more than 100 linear feet of panoramic views—punctuates the building’s façades, thereby reducing the visual impact of the structure. Seductive, organic curves, partially inspired by the work of iconic architect Antoni Gaudí, have become a Jeannette signature, a refreshing approach in a luxury market whose modern architecture is overrepresented by austere white boxes. The sweeping, free-flowing lines apparent in some of BJA’s single-family projects are reprised in Aerie, suggesting the motion of the water while the wavy blue titanium roof echoes both ocean and sky.

“Understanding the implications of what the environment does to the architecture is an important starting point whenever we look at a project,” says Jeannette of his firm’s approach, a philosophy that has been invaluable in meeting the challenges of Orange County’s fragile coastline. “Because the environment has such an impact on the structure in general, it became second nature to consider sustainability and the unique characteristics of the site, ensuring the building respects them,” adds the architect. Richard Julian, president of Aerie developer Advanced Real Estate Services, Inc., immediately envisioned the bluff site as a future home for his family and purchased the dilapidated apartment building without hesitation. “I

70 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

recognized it as a one-of-a-kind opportunity and wanted to respectfully develop it into a world-class property, because it’s a world-class location,” recounts Julian. Jeannette, renowned for his elaborate coastal Orange County estates, brought sensibilities of single-family design to each of the project’s unique, personalized units, and two approximately 6,000-square-foot penthouses showcase a sophisticated indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Advanced Real Estate selected Tony Valentine Construction as general contractor, a meticulous local builder that has collaborated with BJA on approximately 75 luxury single-family homes. Founder and owner Tony Valentine reports, “I build ultrahigh-end custom estates, and the craftsmanship that went

into Aerie is as detailed and intricate as anything we’ve ever done.” Like Jeannette, the builder resisted approaching Aerie as a multifamily project. “We have seven different families here and we treated Aerie as seven different projects, with each client attended to individually,” he says. Working with Valentine and Leo Parrella Design Group, BJA ensured that Aerie’s residences reflected the priorities of their respective buyers while remaining true to the building’s nuanced interpretation of coastal design. “Our approach was to celebrate the building’s curves, creating intimacy while enhancing the sense of living on the water,” states principal Leo Parrella, emphasizing his desire to provide seamless transitions from indoors to outdoors.

“None of the clients wanted to feel like they were living in a condominium, so we designed all spaces very personally, giving them the feel of private residences,” he explains. In the great room of the penthouse occupied by the Julian household, the designers express the owners’ love of sailing through a curvaceous maple ceiling that reflects a nautical inspiration. “You could say the ceiling transcends a couple of our passions, sailing and wine,” suggests Julian, who notes the craftsmanship is also vaguely reminiscent of wine barrel construction. In that residence’s state-of-theart kitchen, Parrella created a waterfall-edged island clad in richly-veined quartzite that comfortably seats six while providing enough prep space for a Michelin-starred chef.

The floorplan was specifically designed to accommodate the Julians’ penchant for entertaining and incorporates a 7,500-bottle wine cellar to share with guests. The building’s main entry and matching parking garage doors feature curvilinear steel forms inset with blue glass, informed by Gaudí’s acclaimed Casa Batlló in Barcelona yet uniquely suited to coastal Orange County. The Sand Dollar Lounge, offering underwater views into an adjoining swimming pool, is a valuable recreation and entertainment space for Aerie residents, reinforcing a sense of community. Above the pool is an organicallyinspired ceiling with illuminated Gaudí-esque bubbles—they are aptly described as “cutouts in a cloud”—that represent the playfulness Jeannette brings to his craft. Additional amenities at Aerie include a fitness center, private marina and exclusive access to a cove-protected beach. Now completed, the oncecontroversial project is not only well-received but embraced by local residents who recognize the structure celebrates the surf, sky and spirit of Corona del Mar. CH

NTERIOR DESIGNER ANN FRASER takes inspiration from

many sources—old Brentwood mansions, Cary Grant movies, a Parisian bistro, London hotels, Palm Beach lifestyles. These threads of classic, traditional influences came together in a newly built, two-story home on Newport Bay, where the emphasis is on vivid colors, fascinating objets and furnishings with a past. “This is, basically, a beach house with crystal chandeliers,” says Fraser, whose Newport Beach-based firm is Fraser House et Cie. “It’s a reflection of the owners and a great place to entertain.”

Deep rhubarb-hued walls and jewel-like tile cladding behind the antique pot-bellied stove make for a dramatic upstairs office. Peter Dunham fabric for the chairs and draperies, and an antique Baccarat chandelier add a touch of glamour.

The home, designed for a couple with grown children and deep Southern California roots, had its beginnings in the 1980s, when Fraser met the wife at a Balboa Island Starbucks. A friendship ensued, and Fraser began helping with a series of remodeling projects at her previous home. When a bayside property became available, the wife had some definite ideas about she wanted in the new abode. “I love color, I love tradition,” says the wife. “Also, I wanted to reuse everything that I had. I hang on to precious things because they have memories and meaning.” For Fraser, the challenge was refreshing a lifetime’s worth of furnishings, making them work in a new setting—as well as picking an architectural motif that made sense for the setting. She brought in the expertise of architectural designer Brian Sipes (yes, that Brian Sipes, the NFL star who has gone on to a second chapter as a residential designer). “We all went on a bay cruise to look at neighborhood houses we liked,” Fraser recalls, “and we saw one with white brick and black trim. It instantly reminded me of architect Paul R. Williams’ 1930s home in Brentwood for actress Zasu Pitts.”

78 | CALIFORNIA HOMES

Williams, known for his designs of celebrity mansions, created a romantic, Georgian-style house of white brick with black trim for Pitts, complete with a dramatic winding staircase. For Sipes, the challenge was fitting Williams-inspired architecture onto a 50-foot-wide lot on the bay. “We used that Williams house as inspiration,” says Sipes, “but his architecture tended to be sprawling. We had a tight building envelope, with a program that included a three-car garage.” Sipes rose to the challenge, creating a 5,000-square-foot plan that put the garages streetside and the entry to the side, within a landscaped courtyard. White brick walls, black steel-framed windows and a slate roof mark the architecture. Inside, Sipes gave the living room and library bayside views and access to a covered patio. Upstairs, where there are also three guest suites, he gave view preference to the master bedroom and office, which open onto a shaded balcony. Inside, Fraser created a backdrop that included black and white tiled floors for public spaces and reclaimed wood for more intimate spots. White walls were lavished with crown moulding,

paneling and thick baseboards, while custom cabinetry graces the kitchen and bathrooms. “The wife loves green and red,” explains Fraser. “It’s an homage to her Italian heritage.” With that in mind, Fraser used a spring green Christopher Farr fabric to recover the curvy living room sofa, which had belonged to the wife’s parents, and added more color by dismantling Johnny Was kimonos to create accessory pillows. In the adjacent library, lipstick red cabinetry creates a backdrop for a sofa reupholstered in a peacock blue Brunschwig & Fils velvet, trimmed with white fringe. The red, white and blue color scheme and nautical accessories are Fraser’s nod to the husband’s long career in boating. In the dining room, a green floral Gracie wallpaper brings the outdoors in and frames the 50-year-old dining chairs that Fraser refinished in an antique white. “For the dining room windows, I recreated wrought iron windows that I had seen and loved from an old Cary Grant movie, ‘Topper,’” explains Fraser. Up the wrought iron stairs, Fraser toned down the vivid color scheme for the master suite, instead using pale blues and creams to keep emphasis on sky and water, covering a family heirloom

sofa in a blue and white Scalamandre fabric and using classic Matouk linens for the bedding. In the adjacent bathroom, Fraser’s trip to Paris was the impetus for black and white tile trim, as well as the lace curtains. Fraser’s piéce de résistance was the powder room, tucked under the staircase. “The wife saw an old-fashioned elevator at The Savoy hotel in London,” explains the interior designer, “and we basically recreated it in the powder room.” Cantonese red walls and cabinetry, trimmed in gold, give the room a sense of retro glamour. Fraser repurposed the owners’ antique Chinese temple windows into cabinetry doors and used antique Waterford crystal sconces for a finishing touch. For the owners, the house is both a perfect retreat and a backdrop for entertaining. “Even though this house is new, everything here is full of memories,” says the wife. “It’s also a great place for parties. I’m a people person, so I am always dragging in people for a cup of tea or a spontaneous dinner party.” “I used to live in Palm Beach,” says Fraser, summing up the home’s style. “This house reminds me of how people live there— it’s sophisticated and elegant, but it’s also on the water.” CH

that Steve Thompson had when he saw his project in Montecito was that “it was stuck in a time warp. “It was built in the 1980s,” he said of the single-level 3,500 square foot property. “The wallpaper was all greens and golds. The ceilings were only eight feet high. It lacked quality construction materials. It hadn’t been touched since the day it was built. Anyone else would have torn the house down.” But Thompson’s clients had another approach entirely, choosing to retain the bones of the house, and completely transform it.

“What it did have was a prime location in Montecito,” said Thompson. “The rooms were in the places that rooms should be in. We were able to raise the ceilings to 9 to 10 feet and we simpli-fied the floor plan, eliminating things that didn’t need to be there.” Thompson also wanted to keep the house in the spirit of the renowned architect George Wash-ington Smith, who worked in Santa Barbara in the 1900s and was a master at the Spanish colonial revival style that the city is known for. That involved paring down fussy details, such as eliminating faux arches, moldings, or other elements that interrupted the flow of the house. Doorways were widened and walls were thickened to add a level of authenticity. Aluminum sliding glass doors that were 6 feet tall were replaced with 8 feet high windows and doors to take advantage of the spectacular views and the landscaping, which was created by Montecito-based Grace Design.

“In a traditional Spanish Revival house, all the walls would be white. It’s a beautiful background for the furniture and for it to be a part of the architecture,” he said. In this case especially. The clients, who had previously lived in London, are avid collectors of European art and antiques which has been incorporated into the various rooms. “It was a wonderful collaboration with the owner to meld together their wonderful collections and incorporate that into the Santa Barbara style vernacular,” he said. The soft furnishings are rendered in pale, soothing shades, some selected to mirror the colors of the paintings on the walls. Sofas in the living room are in off-white, featuring pale blue accents. A dramatic fireplace of Indiana limestone anchors the room; it was created by Chicago-based stonework company Atelier Jouvence, a choice partly fueled by the fact that one of the owners is originally from Indiana.

Thompson also made the dining room “a convivial space,” using a round table, and transforming small windows into French doors that open up to a courtyard with a Moroccan rill and fountain. “With all the French doors there is a great sense of flow,” he said. He also wanted to retain a tactile, warm sensibility, through the use of handmade Spanish furniture and Moroccan tiles. Original wooden ceilings throughout the home were left intact, lending some old-world charm. Thompson says that his and his client’s approach to the project reflected what he observes as an overarching trend in design these days, where classical elegance is starting to gain traction over ultra-modernist interiors. “All the indicators are that traditional is making a comeback,” said Thompson. “Buyers, including younger ones, are discovering the quality of craftsmanship of things that were made in the past. They care about a back story. And they want to buy good things and keep them.” CH

in Lafayette featured dramatic views of Mount Diablo, Briones Regional Park, and the surrounding pastoral hills. Its 2.8-acre property included a pool, red wine grape vineyard, mature olive grove, organic gardens, and grazing livestock. Unfortunately, the estate’s dated Tuscan style marred its bucolic setting. Ann Lowengart Interiors with Sutro Architects and Cook Construction transformed the residence into a timeless California ranch for the homeowners, a busy couple with tween children and several pets. Lowengart, who has studios in San Anselmo, California, and Palm Beach, Florida, selected a cool color palette punctuated by moody blue and Hermès orange accents for the modern interiors. One of painter Louise LeBourgeois’ ethereal waterscapes installed against a pale oak paneled wall welcomes visitors in the foyer. It surmounts a white sculpted cast resin console from Ironies. A pair of John Pomp’s handblown, glass crystal wall sconces flank the painting.

ENJOYING STUNNING VIEWS from a protected

perch is a luxury estate combining the glamour of Spanish Colonial architecture with state-of-the-art amenities for contemporary living. The residence, occupying a half-acre parcel on exclusive Rocky Point Road in Corona del Mar’s Spyglass Hill neighborhood, is listed by the Rener Team of First Team Christie’s for $7.5 million. Inspired by Santa Barbara’s Biltmore Hotel, the home’s meticulous detailing honors the finest traditions of Spanish Colonial design, reports Pablo Rener, who co-lists the property with Cameron Hall. Entering the 7,759-square-foot residence through antique doors imported from Spain, guests arrive in a soaring entryway beneath a hand-painted dome, while a double wrought-iron staircase gracefully ascends to the second level. “From the moment you walk in, it feels like a five-star boutique resort,” states Hall, who sugg ests the classic architecture commands a premium in a market crowded with modern designs.

“Indoor and outdoor spaces flow very cohesively, so you can host 500 people and hardly feel it,” says Hall. “Every room downstairs leads directly to the pool area, which makes it ideal for entertaining,” adds Rener. Current owner Debbie Harris—she and husband Ralph are famous for their elaborate Super Bowl fêtes—reports, “It’s the ultimate party house, with panoramic views from the mountains to downtown L.A., even the Disneyland fireworks at night.” Supporting social events are a chef-worthy, coffered-ceilinged kitchen, 700-bottle wine cellar, formal dining room, and game room whose 360-degree bar also accommodates an adjoining media lounge. Throughout the residence, European white oak and Spanish tile flooring enhance

generously proportioned rooms flooded with natural light, while wood ceiling beams create an elegant sense of rusticity. Designer chandeliers and furnishings from Timothy Oulton and RH complement the home’s sophisticated spaces. An office—ideal for those no longer reporting to headquarters every day— can be converted into a sixth bedroom. Upstairs, the western wing encompasses three luxurious suites, while the primary suite occupies the entire upper level of the opposite wing. Among its extravagant features are dual onyx-clad bathrooms, walkin closets, wet bar and one of four indoor fireplaces. A wraparound balcony showcases views while reinforcing the seamless interplay between indoors and out.

A delightful mix of old-world detail with modern amenities create a space of culinary creativity. This gourmet kitchen features modern appliances, custom cabinetry, detailed millwork, hammered copper sink, walk-in pantry, and an adjacent 700 bottle temperature-controlled sunken wine-cellar. ABOVE

The primary suite, in its private wing of the house, affords panoramic views of Orange County all the way to Downtown LA. At night, twinkling city lights and Disneyland fireworks can be seen from this secluded perch.

A lushly landscaped outdoor living area with alfresco dining, built-in barbecue, fountains, firepit, and saltwater pool and spa reinforces a resort lifestyle. Balancing the property’s Old World ambiance with advanced technology, the current owners invested in a Control4 home automation system, custom indoor/outdoor audio and lighting, and security cameras. The sellers, now downsizing empty nesters, will miss the Rocky Point Road residence that impressed them from the start. “After looking at 200 properties, we saw this house—the front doors were open and we could see through to the pool, an oasis with palm trees and incredible views—and knew it was perfect,” recounts Mrs. Harris. Reporting considerable interest from L.A., along with Orange County buyers trading up, Rener observes, “With its five bedrooms, the home’s well suited to an active family that loves to entertain.” CH
