CONCEPT 03

ARCHITECT: Mark Radford

BUILDER: Munsch Homes

INTERIOR DESIGNER: Intimate Living Interiors

LOCATION:Rancho Santa Fe, San Diego County, USA

This mediterranean house was designed to meet the lifestyle needs of a busy family of five. The designer integrated lighting into each room that creates different moods and atmospheres around the house, in order to meet the families individual needs. A large portion of the existing mill work was replaced with stylish stones and fabric that added a touch of comfort to the house. It was pivotal throughout the design process that this house would be functional for the family, a place where they could; cook, lounge and entertain. The design consists of a soothing neutral colour palette with soft pops of green as the owners requested for elements of nature to be infused throughout their home. Radford wanted to showcase the aesthetics of the home itself, he achieved this by adding furniture and fixtures that had little to no texture, simple pieces that elevated the homes natural texture and stone work. In order to adjust the homes existing structure to meet the needs of the client, the designers opted to transform certain areas. For example, a home bar was transformed into a cozy reading nook. This allowed for the home to have a playful yet elegant vibe that encompassed a relaxed, laid back lifestyle.
