Tucked into a quiet inland valley, the property feels removed from the pace of Los Angeles, with open skies and a dense canopy of mature oak trees shaping the landscape. Some of the oaks are estimated to be over 250 years old, grounding the site in a sense of history that’s hard to replicate. A collection of existing structures is spread across the property, including a primary residence, a barn, and a guest house, each built at different points in time.

The site itself was once used as a wellness retreat enclosed with large oak trees and expansive open blue skies. Since then, the property has seen a number of alterations, many of which were quite specific and uncohesive.

We've been tasked with reimagining the property as a compound fit for their family.

The design objective was to increase the size of the home by 1,300 S.F. while creating a cohesive architectural vocabulary that is true to the original character of the house.
