Sited on an expansive promontory overlooking the vast Napa Valley floor and dramatic Mayacamas Mountains, this newly built modern estate compound on 34 +/- private acres is one of those rare locations where one can enjoy both sunrise and sunset amidst jaw-dropping views that are beyond panoramic. This singular estate showcases a 3BR/4.5BA main residence, 2BR/2BA second dwelling, spacious studio with a full bath, poolside exercise/yoga room, and a two-car garage, all grounded by warm-hued exterior stucco and handsome black corrugated metal. The luminous modern interiors enjoy exceptional continuity and finish throughout, with beautiful white oak floors and cabinetry, rugged concrete quartz countertops, and massive Fleetwood doors providing a true indoor/outdoor experience.

The main residence features an impressive great room with 22’ vaulted ceilings, an open kitchen with access to a private dining courtyard, a luxurious primary suite with a view patio and room-size walk-in closet, media room, butler’s pantry/laundry room, wine room and two en-suite guest bedrooms with views. Nearby is the second dwelling with two en-suite bedrooms, a kitchenette, and an inviting living room with front and back pocket doors that provide seamless access to the pool and views of the rolling hills to the east. Connecting to the second dwelling is a 2-car garage with extra storage space and a fabulous 800+ sq ft studio with a full bath.

All of this is centered around a generous size heated salt water pool, expansive patios, and elevated terraces designed for large-scale outdoor entertaining and enjoyment of the ever-present views. Unlike so many elevated locations, this property features an exceptional amount of useable and gently rolling terrain, with potential for a vineyard, tennis court, barn, or other outbuildings. This destination property, everything one could imagine as the perfect Napa Valley getaway, is only 5 minutes from the Soda Canyon Store, and a convenient mid-point between Yountville’s fabulous restaurants and the many shopping options only 10-12 minutes away in downtown Napa.

With a legacy that spans over a century, Woodacres Estate enjoys the distinction of being one of Santa Monica’s most coveted residential opportunities to be brought to market.

Surrounded by majestic pine trees and lush gardens, Woodacres Estate presents a peaceful sanctuary on 1.223 acres — one of the largest flat parcels in the City of Santa Monica. A gated presence at the end of a private cul-de-sac north of San Vicente Boulevard places the historic property close to the Pacific Ocean, beaches, and the restaurants and shops on Montana Avenue.

Only two private owners have ever stewarded the property, which today consists of an original Italian Renaissance-style mansion designed by celebrated architect John Parkinson in 1921, incredible grassy yards, a guest house with a two-car garage, a tennis court, and a pool. Designed as Parkinson’s personal home, the main residence offers more than 4,700 square feet with five bedrooms and 3.5 baths on two stories. The two-story guesthouse, built by the second owners in 1970, offers three bedrooms and two baths. The estate’s next owner is invited to continue the legacy begun by Parkinson a century ago.

Woodacres Estate presents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to recreate today’s version of a Santa Monica estate compound with a new mansion and possible restoration of the main residence as a guesthouse.

Hafsa Burt recently gave Haute Design an insider's look at her Terra Glen project in San Jose, CA.

Haute Design: How did the Terra Glen renovation project come about?

Hafsa Burt: This multi-family asset was being repositioned and I knew one of the new owners. He expressed interest in allowing me to take a look to see what can be done to modernize the building. We got together with their marketing team to make sure goals were aligned with their vision and worked closely with them, every step of the way.

HD: What is the biggest challenge when approaching a project of this scale?

HB: Projects such as these are usually occupied, therefore design and construction need to be flexible to work around the occupants. Such assets are also dated for building code requirements and need to be carefully analyzed for upgrades relevant to current codes and regulations. And then of course, aesthetics are addressed.

Photo Credit: hb+a Architects

HD: What are some of the ecologically-friendly practices utilized throughout the project?

HB: We used materials throughout that have a low carbon footprint and don't off-gas, creating a healthier indoor air quality. Fresh air, natural light and ventilation were also key factors in design. We specified bamboo cladding, which is a carbon-capturing material and has shown great resilience compared to tile and looks fantastic on the exterior.

HD: What were the main goals throughout the renovation? What needed the most improvement?

HB: As briefly mentioned before, assets like these, which have been around for decades, require significant building code upgrades to make sure the building is safe for occupants. There are complex layers that start with a detailed analysis of existing conditions while maintaining contingencies for unexpected surprises during construction when walls are demolished, etc.  After the initial analysis, a plan is laid out to address code issues and solutions are discussed with the clients while keeping in line with their vision and making the space aesthetically appealing and contemporary.

Scott Goshorn presents

This was a 14-month journey with my amazing clients on new construction. With low inventory, I took the initiative to mail letters to my client's target area. We found a property that was being built by a Development group who lived next door that wasn't on the market. We bought it during construction so they could make it their own. The benefit to that is they got it at last year's price of $3.6m whereas now they have a home that's worth $4.2m-$4.5m.

Dorothy Alon is the founder of prominent Los Angeles-based design firm, Sophea Interior Designs. Dorothy has previously explained what sets her firm apart from other firms in the industry. Sophea Interior Designs is an all-encompassing firm with a holistic approach an exceptional attention to detail. Recently, Dorothy took time from her busy schedule to discuss modern design with Haute Design. What is modern design, anyway? Dorothy provided her fascinating perspective on this and more.

Haute Design: Does modern design equate to minimal design? If not, why do you feel so many people think out does?

Dorothy Alon: To each their own. As with everything in design, each person will have their own conception of what modern entails. Minimalism originated in the midcentury as a result of the Bauhaus movement, where less became more. Through the years, I think people started to want to care for less. So fast forward to the 2000s, and particularly toward the past 15 years or so, things changed drastically as far as construction is concerned. There are more metals involved, engineering has drastically advanced, and in turn, become more complex and we are now able to create far greater expanses and openings. This leads to larger windows and doors.

Construction has plenty to do with it because now, architects are able to plan way beyond their dreams in comparison to the past, where supplies and techniques were much more limited. So due to advances in construction, the exteriors of these houses are almost completely made of metal and iron. This allows architects to create openings of 20 to 30 feet.

Additionally, the contribution of television and social media cannot be overlooked. Clients used to come to you with maybe two or three reference images, whereas these days, they have 30 images at the ready because they see these pictures from all around the world and they want that openness and that space.

However, with that openness and the lack of walls, comes plenty of issues. Most of the issues come in the form of storage. Because now, your home does not have walls, it has no room for shelves or places to hang your art. Back in the day, your kitchen would be hidden and with it, any mess you created would go unnoticed by any guests you may have. Now, your kitchen is open for all to see in the living room. So, it's difficult to host if you have a family because everything is exposed. So, not everything that came as a result of this modern design was necessarily positive.

Clients who come from traditional homes to modern homes run into problems all the time. If you collect art for example, no we need to start discussing how to hang your pieces from hooks and all of these elaborate systems because your new home is all window. This is not to say that there aren't solutions to these problems, but most clients do not even consider this beforehand.

HD: Do you think the average conception of a modern homes has changed, especially after considering all of our relationships with our living spaces over the past year and a half?

DA: If anything, I think most people realized they don't need that much. People have learned to make their spaces accommodate to their lifestyles rather than the other way around. For the most part, when clients say modern, they are thinking of an open floor plan and clean lines. And yet, most clients ask for a 'warm modern.' Because a minimalist home, does not feel like 'home' to most people. So, they do not necessarily want a modern home. Because if the exterior is this shell of a minimal, Bauhaus home, but the inside has traditional furniture, with stucco, and curved and cozy furniture, it's not a cohesive idea. The inside has to communicate with the outside. It's all about feeling.

HD: Is there such a thing as a timeless home?

DA: When you say timeless, I believe you mean classic. It's something I tell my clients every time, when talking about exteriors, "Go for the classic." To me, classic is comprised of anything from the beginning of the 20th century, until the '80s or '90s. Classics will still look great 20, 30 years from now, but more importantly, they work. All of these design homes from the past century, they might be updated with new colors and textures, but their shape remains the same, because it works.

This OCEAN VIEW UNIT is located in a desirable South Redondo Beach location. The mid-sized complex (THE SURFRIDER) is an OCEANFRONT BUILDING along "The Esplanade". It is convenient for easy and quick walking access to the WATERS EDGE/PIER/RESTAURANTS/SHOPS/GYM/MARINA plus much more.

The UPDATED building has a UNIQUE HISTORICAL DESIGNATION with the LOS ANGELES CONSERVANCY. When it was designated, inspiration came from the surfing culture of California with floor-to-ceiling windows and open floor plans and won the GOLD MEDALLION HOME AWARD when completed in 1970.

The building features DIRECT BEACH ACCESS for all homeowners. There is also a community SPA that allows for oceanfront usage. The view deck is a must and can be enjoyed 24-7. The building is a self-contained security building with secure entrances and cameras.

Built during the late Mid-Century Modern period, the curvilinear balcony design provided every unit with a beach view. Orange Metlox Pottery (previously headquartered in downtown Manhattan Beach) provided the tiles which add the mid-century modern design to the two building's facades.

On March 15, the former home of legendary Hollywood and Italian film producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis was listed at $37.5 million. The estate is a hilltop residence located in California's world-famous Beverly Hills and comprises a 6-acre plot with breathtaking views of the city and ocean below. The impressive estate has been co-listed by veteran real estate agent and Haute Residence member Joyce Rey, representing Coldwell Banker Realty, in partnership with the former owners’ daughter Dina De Laurentiis of Sotheby’s International Realty. 

Along with the residence itself comes a storied past of Hollywood and creative laureates: in 1978, the home was bought by world-renowned author Harold Robbins from actor and businessman Steve Crane. During this time, the interior of the home was refinished by visionary designer Phyllis Morris and a three-car garage, sundeck, and pool were added to the estate as well. In 1986, producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis purchased the home, with Dino eventually adding a tennis court to the residence for Martha, an avid player. 

The estate sits on a quiet, private plot of land with a sizable residence perfect for hosting guests and events of all kinds. Upon entering the home, future residents will be greeted by an expansive foyer with a rustic chandelier overhead and staircases to the second floor on either side. The home also includes a cushy den, a spacious kitchen with stone countertops, a dining room with a fireplace, and 9 bathrooms and 5 bedrooms, the master bedroom coming equipped with a walk-in closet and shower. Outside, the accommodating deck area includes both a pool and hot tub, as well as an outdoor kitchen and ample seating. For any aspiring tennis players, the tennis court added by the Laurentiis is still in place. This luxurious Beverly Hills estate is truly one-of-a-kind, with space and class to spare. 

Located at 1501 Tower Grove Dr. in Beverly Hills, California, the 5 bedroom, 9 bathroom residence is still up for sale.

Joshua Rose & Rafi Kalichstein

Founders and Principals at FORM Design Studio, Joshua Rose and Rafi Kalichstein, recently sat down and spoke to Haute Design about their design philosophies and why they prefer to work in tandem rather than as sole proprietors.

Haute Design: What is your favorite part about working as a duo?

Joshua Rose: I think we get to the iterative process faster than a lot of other sole proprietors or single principal firms. Along with our team, if we do not all agree that a particular decision is the best option, we don't move forward. At the end of the day, once all of us are aligned on the same perspective, the results are that much stronger and our collective buy-in allows us, in many ways, to work more efficiently.

Rafi Kalichstein: It's important to note, as Josh mentioned, that we aren't a firm of two. We are two principal designers in a small team. That said, one of the things I think is most valuable in design is peer review. There's no architectural firm worth its salt that is going to issue a set of drawings without peer review, regardless of how high or low in the chain the person who drafted these drawings finds themselves.

I think we have a tremendous advantage because the peer review process is so engrained in our DNA. The intrinsic trust and understanding among our team allows us to deliver work at a level of quality that I think is hard to find.

Lastly, I would say there is a practical benefit inherent in the way we deal with projects and personalities. We have extra tools in our tool kit to manage clients' expectations, personalities, or whatever the case may be. If I am not reaching a client in a certain way, there is a chance that someone else in the team can. We rely heavily on each other.

HD: Josh, what do you feel is the most valuable skill set you bring to the table? What is Rafi's? 

JR: The most valuable skill I bring, Rafi will probably say is the thing that drives him most crazy about me is that I'm really a do-er and I like to get things done and move on. I think I can cue things up really well and can get us to move the ball down the field efficiently. The creative is a given, you can't be a principal designer without having some sort of talent. But what I'm referring to is a more managerial high-level thinking.

Rafi's greatest skill set is that he is unbelievably detail-oriented. We're all detail-oriented to an extent but he's detail-oriented on so many different levels, not only on design and execution but also when collaborating with subcontractors, working with trades, and being cognizant of what the clients are going to be left with. He thinks on this really multi-dimensional level to make sure that every 'i' is dotted and every 't' is crossed, so that we can feel extremely confident in the work we deliver, which tempers my inclination to just keep moving. It is a constant dance between us.

At the end of the day, when you're dealing with millions of dollars, you have to be responsible and you need to feel comfortable with not just aesthetics but how people will live with your designs.

HD: Same question to you, Rafi. 

RK: Josh has an incredible observational capacity. Not to mention his memory, on which I rely heavily. While I know I'll see all kinds of things, to know that there is someone who can see your blind spots, is unbelievable. There is a real freedom and joy in that.

I think tenacity is my best quality, which can also be a hindrance, as Josh points out. But my unwillingness to let go until we have gotten the best solution is really an asset. There's a yin and a yang to everything we do together.

Photo Credit: FORM Design Studio

HD: Each of you has separately unique design backgrounds. Rafi, what is the most valuable trait you have kept from your Feng-shui background?

RK: First, I'll broaden it to say that it's diagnostic skills and tools, as well as the ability to see the unseen. There are things that I just know in my bones, which comes from years of diagnosis.

HD: Josh, same question to you, regarding your time in visual FX. 

JR: I think the strongest trait I have kept from that time is dealing with big personalities. I've been in very intense situations with some of the biggest film producers in the world. Navigating that in my 20's taught me so much, so I can certainly deal with clients and builders and intense deadlines.

HD: Where do either of you see FORM Design Studio in the next five to 10 years?

JR: I see us continuing to do what we're doing, which is delivering commissioned, beautiful, large-scale luxury projects. I think our product development channel will continue to grow as we add partners and collaborators. By then I think we'll definitely have fabric and wall coverings, and we'll have established a luxury high-end furniture presence as well.

RK: We would like it to grow our team a little bit, but there's a line past which we are not interested in traversing because of what we love about what we do. If you get too big, you become manager and project-getter, but you can't really get your hands dirty because there's no time. I don't think either of us is interested in just being managers. We will both always want to be deep in the worlds we design.

Timothy Norman Tamura of VALIA Properties presents

Positioned above the Village of Corona del Mar, this striking contemporary residence is newly constructed and designed around its dramatic ocean and Newport Harbor views. Taking full advantage of the Southwestern facing parcel, the home is crafted for single-level simplicity.

Beyond the front door, the Golden Coast and Palos Verdes hover in the background, centrally appointed in the home. Dramatic views of Catalina Island, the beaches of Newport Peninsula, and the city lights of Fashion Island are all framed by generous walls of glass, integrating indoor and outdoor living.

Light filters throughout the day, mindfully appointing and illuminating the thoughtful floorplan. Conversations flow across the waterfall island to the living space beyond, creating gathering vignettes for entertaining. Receive guests and family in the dining space adjoining the gracious living room, anchored by a linear fireplace encased in crisp marble. Clean white walls are spiked with hand-blown blue tiled backsplash defining a dry bar with refrigerated cabinetry.

The architecture is classic and structured to complement the clean design of the interior. Slick white walls can host pieces of art or sculptures, secured by textures of soft French oak flooring. Guided by market vision, DeCarrier Design curated and sourced all materials for the home with handpicked tiles and countertops, harmonizing classic elements with modern materials to create delicate contrast. Down to the individually cut tile for the precise powder wall with framed mirror.

The entire great room interacts with stunning ocean views beyond, framed by walls of glass that vanish to reveal the rear grounds. A considerable seating and lounging terrace surround the glassy pool and spa. The lush landscape runs alongside the glass wall providing color and texture that highlights the sparkling water. Ideally positioned outside the kitchen, a BBQ island includes a variety of cooking materials desired for entertaining. Overhead heaters accomplish an optimal outdoor experience for those cool Southern California nights.

The primary suite is a gracious sanctuary, embracing stunning views of the ocean and harbor, with entry via the private reading retreat. The bathroom suite is articulate with dual vanities, a makeup vanity, a large shower and tub, water closet, with a custom-built closet containing spacious storage. Four large secondary bedroom suites flank the perimeter of the home; each bedroom is replete with large walk-in closets outfitted with built-in shelving and drawers, and a private bathroom. The concluding touch for the home is a laundry/mudroom, which serves as an entry off the oversized two-car garage with an electric car charger and smart home automation system.

This Harborview Hills location allows for a short walk to PCH, where local amenities are plenty and easily accessible. Conveniently access MacArthur, Marguerite, or San Joaquin Road making this one of Corona del Mar’s most centrally located communities.
