Bassenian/Lagoni Architects

This two-story, Santa Barbara-style luxury home is designed for move-up buyers in one of Southern California's most desirable coastal communities. It's part of a 47-home development with a density of 2.3 units per acre. Plan 2's exterior reflects the distinctive four-sided architectural design expected by this upscale market. This includes dramatic arched openings, wrought-iron and tile accent details, and an asymmetrical building envelope. Inside, Plan 2 opens with a high-impact foyer that has a curved, wrought-iron staircase as its focal point. The formal areas are adjacent to the front entry, while the family room, kitchen and breakfast nook extend across the back, creating a spacious informal zone designed to capitalize on desirable views. Flex space on the main floor can serve as a media or guest room. French doors in the second-floor master retreat open onto a private balcony.
