Rancho Santa Fe, CA_013

A modern outdoor space features two light gray lounge chairs positioned on a smooth concrete patio beside a sleek swimming pool. The area is partially shaded by horizontal metal beams casting long shadows on the ground.

Set within the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe, this home was designed as both a sanctuary for its entrepreneurial owners and a gathering place for their extended family. The clients embraced the design process with trust and enthusiasm, allowing the architecture to unfold with clarity and intention. Monolithic materials echo the structural expression of the building, reinforcing a sense of permanence and quiet strength. Passive ventilation, solar integration, and high-performance glazing underscore the home’s commitment to sustainability. An inner courtyard anchors the experience, blurring boundaries between interior and exterior, and fostering a lifestyle attuned to nature and light. At once contemporary and timeless, the home honors the Covenant’s design restrictions while offering a refined and serene retreat centered on art, connection, and the slow passage of time.
