Project 017: Art Collector California Ranch-Style Manor

Located in The Covenant in Rancho Santa Fe, this surgical remodel is a layered expression of art, materiality, and California indoor–outdoor living. Designed around the homeowner’s world-class art collection, the interiors blend custom elements with bold design moves—lighting by Apparatus, bold rugs by Moooi, and select furnishings by Roche Bobois. A custom kitchen by Matrix Design Studio anchors the open-plan core, while Petra Stone surfaces and La Cantina accordion doors provide a tactile connection to the bright California rolling hills and accentuate the vaulted ceilings. From the lacquered jewel-toned study to the marble-clad bath retreat, every space balances expressive character with timeless elegance. The result is a highly personalized sanctuary that feels both curated and comfortably lived-in.
