The primary goal for this project was to craft a modernist derivation of pueblo architecture. Set into a heavily laden boulder hillside, the design also reflects the nature of the stacked boulder formations. The site, located near local landmark Pinnacle Peak, offered breathtaking views which were largely upward, making proximity an issue. Maintaining southwest fenestration protection and maximizing views created the primary design constraint. The views are maximized with careful orientation, exacting overhangs, and wing wall locations. The overhangs intertwine and undulate with alternating materials stacking to reinforce the boulder strewn backdrop. The elegant material palette and siting allow for great harmony with the native desert. The Elegant Modern at Estancia was the collaboration of many of the Valley's finest luxury home specialists. Interiors guru David Michael Miller contributed elegance and refinement in every detail. Landscape architect Russ Greey of Greey | Pickett contributed a landscape design that not only complimented the architecture, but nestled into the surrounding desert as if always a part of it. And contractor Manship Builders -- Jim Manship and project manager Mark Laidlaw -- brought precision and skill to the construction of what architect C.P. Drewett described as "a watch."

Clients love to entertain! And why wouldn't they, when they have a space like this? When I arrived, this huge space was nothing but bare soil. What a transformation! Project goals primarily focused on the creation of a beautiful space to enjoy with multiple outdoor rooms, space to grow food and space to play outside with guests. We created a regulation-size bocce ball court, large fountain and pond, and used an incredible and diverse selection of drought-tolerant plants including California native selections as well as plants from South Africa, Australia and beyond. Textures and colors form a buzzing, living tapestry which is framed by magnificent views of the fields and distant mountains. All garden elements are connected by winding decomposed granite pathways so the frequent guests, children and grandchildren can roam freely. Raised veggie beds provide a bountiful harvest of veggies and tomatoes. The sound of flowing water and the tranquil garden make it impossible to go inside; this is outdoor living at its finest!

Mark Nix, Jeri Kogel Photo Credits: Mark Nix, Jeri Kogel The local quarried stone entry Gate greets you at the private gated community of Hamilton Oaks. This unique custom estate has been built using post & beam construction and is a 'timber' home. Views are majestic and 360deg. The grounds are picturesque with 9+ acres that include a main house, guest house and a 4-stall barn. There is a circular drive with RV parking and a 4-car garage. The main house of approximately 5500 sq.ft. offers five (5) bedrooms and 5.5 baths. The guest house has three (3) bedrooms and two baths. Recently remodeled with the finest craftsmanship and quality this ranch estate backs to open space offering miles of trails for horseback riding and hiking right from your back door. With over 50 fruit & nut trees the owners are organic gardeners that harvest and store water to arrogate the grounds. Just 5 min.to shopping/dining & 25 min to beaches in Laguna or the Orange County international airport. This 'ONE OF A KIND' ESTATE, family compound offers a rancher equestrian lifestyle and/or vineyard with organic vegetable gardens. Breath fresh country air, eat fresh produce, then ride horseback through miles of native country scenery… paths through a stand of century old California oak trees along the riverbed and at the hilltop vistas all the way South with a peek of the pacific ocean on a clear day.

Modern luxury meets warm farmhouse in this Southampton home! Scandinavian inspired furnishings and light fixtures create a clean and tailored look, while the natural materials found in accent walls, casegoods, the staircase, and home decor hone in on a homey feel. An open-concept interior that proves less can be more is how we’d explain this interior. By accentuating the “negative space,” we’ve allowed the carefully chosen furnishings and artwork to steal the show, while the crisp whites and abundance of natural light create a rejuvenated and refreshed interior. This sprawling 5,000 square foot home includes a salon, ballet room, two media rooms, a conference room, multifunctional study, and, lastly, a guest house (which is a mini version of the main house).

The ground floor volumes wrapped in an elongated hand-fired brick, emphasizing the horizontality of the architecture that lays solidly on the land. (Photography by: Matthew Millman)
