Spanish Mission Residence

This approximately 6,500-square-foot, two-story custom residence is dramatically situated atop a hillside knoll, offering panoramic 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape, private pool, and lake beyond. Designed as a blend of Spanish, Mediterranean, and Mission-inspired architecture, the home responds to its sloping site with decks, balconies, and patios on both levels, creating multiple opportunities for outdoor living and enjoyment of the views. The primary living level includes a semi-commercial kitchen, dining area, living room, den, and primary bedroom suite, each thoughtfully positioned to take advantage of the home’s elevated setting.

The lower level is dedicated primarily to family and guests, with five bedrooms, a spacious family room, and wet bar providing a comfortable and private retreat. Additional features include three fireplaces, a residential elevator, and a private library mezzanine overlooking the living room, adding both functionality and architectural interest to the expansive interior. The challenging hillside site required a sophisticated combination of structural systems, including steel columns, floor and roof trusses, conventional wood framing, concrete slab-on-grade construction, caissons, and substantial masonry retaining walls.

Architecturally, white stucco walls, clay tile roofs, arched colonnades, exposed rafter tails, substantial columns, and shaded balconies will reinforce the home’s Spanish and Mission influences while creating a strong indoor-outdoor relationship. Fire-prevention measures will be incorporated throughout the residence, along with a solar power system and backup generator to enhance energy resilience. Together, the complex hillside engineering, traditional architectural detailing, expansive outdoor living areas, and carefully framed views create a distinctive custom residence uniquely integrated with its dramatic setting.
