Spanish Barrel Tile: Aged Mission

The clients approached me with a desire for a modern Spanish Colonial home that would embrace both their large family and the expansive beauty of their 50+ acre property. They wanted to create an elegant yet inviting gathering place—a home designed for bringing family and friends together, with an open floor plan that encourages connection and makes the most of the breathtaking views. The result is a sophisticated, timeless residence that balances the character of Spanish Colonial architecture with a fresh, modern sensibility, creating a warm and welcoming home for generations to enjoy.

Cedar Shake: Weathered

This new construction project brought together both the interior design and architecture teams at Edward Deegan Architects & Interiors, allowing the teams to create a truly harmonious home for our clients. As a firm primarily rooted in the classic design tradition, the opportunity to create the “Mountain Modern” look for this project was an exciting creative challenge. Our goal was to design a home that had the more contemporary look and feel that our clients desired, while still maintaining a sense of timelessness that would endure. The site location of this project also provided us with a unique design opportunity. Situated directly adjacent to a golf course, we designed the residence to highlight its beautiful surroundings. Double-height windows, upper-and lower-level terraces, and multiple entertaining spots established a strong connection between interior and exterior spaces.
