Das Dorf Panix/Pigniu liegt auf 1300 M.ü.M an einem Südwest-Hang in der nördlichen Talseite Die lineare Struktur soll erhalten bleiben, entsprechend liegt das Haus direkt an der neuen Strasse wie bereits zwei andere, neuere Häuser. Es soll zwar ein Haus unserer Zeit sein, aber sich doch ins Dorfbild einpassen. Gleichzeitg wurde eine intensive Verbindung mit der Landschaft und dem umgebenden Garten gesucht. Deswegen ist das Haus als eine Spi¬rale entworfen, die die monolithische Grundform auflöst und Bezüge zwischen innen und aussen durch die Dynamik des Raumes und der Form generiert. Ein Band umschließt das gesamte Volumen. Es ändert seine Materialität von Beton im Sockelbereich zu einer Holzfassade im Obergeschoss.

Designed By: Richard Bustos Photos By: Jeri Koegel Ron and Kathy Chaisson have lived in many homes throughout Orange County, including three homes on the Balboa Peninsula and one at Pelican Crest. But when the “kind of retired” couple, as they describe their current status, decided to finally build their ultimate dream house in the flower streets of Corona del Mar, they opted not to skimp on the amenities. “We wanted this house to have the features of a resort,” says Ron. “So we designed it to have a pool on the roof, five patios, a spa, a gym, water walls in the courtyard, fire-pits and steam showers.” To bring that five-star level of luxury to their newly constructed home, the couple enlisted Orange County’s top talent, including our very own rock star design consultant Richard Bustos, who worked alongside interior designer Trish Steel and Patterson Custom Homes as well as Brandon Architects. Together the team created a 4,500 square-foot, five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half-bathroom contemporary house where R&R get top billing in almost every room. Two stories tall and with lots of open spaces, it manages to feel spacious despite its narrow location. And from its third floor patio, it boasts panoramic ocean views. “Overall we wanted this to be contemporary, but we also wanted it to feel warm,” says Ron. Key to creating that look was Richard, who selected the primary pieces from our extensive portfolio of top-quality furnishings. Richard also focused on clean lines and neutral colors to achieve the couple’s modern aesthetic, while allowing both the home’s gorgeous views and Kathy’s art to take center stage. As for that mahogany-lined elevator? “It’s a requirement,” states Ron. “With three levels, and lots of entertaining, we need that elevator for keeping the bar stocked up at the cabana, and for our big barbecue parties.” He adds, “my wife wears high heels a lot of the time, so riding the elevator instead of taking the stairs makes life that much better for her.”

The Pool House was pushed against the pool, preserving the lot and creating a dynamic relationship between the 2 elements. A glass garage door was used to open the interior onto the pool.
