This 5,500-square-foot Tuscan estate in Grand Islands at Seven Oaks, Bakersfield, features natural stone, exposed wood beams, wrought iron, and richly textured finishes. A central courtyard with a fountain, wine room, outdoor kitchen, resort-style pool and spa, and connected entertaining spaces support relaxed California indoor-outdoor living while preserving the warmth, craftsmanship, and architectural character of a traditional Tuscan villa.

camilleriparismode projects and design team were approached to rethink a previously unused double height room in a wonderful villa. the lower part of the room was planned as a sitting and dining area, the sub level above as a tv den and games room. as the occupants enjoy their time together as a family, as well as their shared love of books, a floor-to-ceiling library was an ideal way of using and linking the large volume. the large library covers one wall of the room spilling into the den area above. it is given a sense of movement by the differing sizes of the verticals and shelves, broken up by randomly placed closed cupboards. the floating marble fireplace at the base of the library unit helps achieve a feeling of lightness despite it being a complex structure, while offering a cosy atmosphere to the family area below. the split-level den is reached via a solid oak staircase, below which is a custom made wine room. the staircase is concealed from the dining area by a high wall, painted in a bold colour on which a collection of paintings is displayed. photos by: brian grech
