At the start of the project, the clients proposed an interesting programmatic requirement; design a home that is comfortable enough for a husband and wife to live in, while being large enough for the entire extended family to gather at. The result is a traditional old world style home that is centered around a large great room ideal for hosting family gatherings during the holidays and weekends alike. A 9′ by 16′ pocketing sliding door opens the great room up to the back patio and the views of the Edna Valley foothills beyond. With 14 grandchildren in the family, a fully outfitted game room was a must, along with a home gym and office. The combination of large living spaces and private rooms make this home the ideal large family retreat.
