The addition of a Guest House on this beautiful and pastoral property consisting of an original ranch house and barn among the landscape, created the extra space and contemporary edge this family was seeking. By first remodeling and updating the main house, a color and material palette was shaped which was then translated to the new structure for an ideal combination of rustic and modern. Bright white walls created the ideal backdrop for the homeowner’s extensive art collection. Sustainability, natural light and ventilation, and integration with the outdoors and nature were all emphasized. A redesigned al fresco entertainment area is inviting for guests - perfect for this active and eco-conscious family.
