Alta Vista at Orchard Hills—Oceano

To satisfy a discriminating and affluent buyer, the designers evoke a classic Spanish Colonial feeling on the exterior and marry it with contemporary living spaces and details to entertain family and friends. A grand entry reveals a view straight to the outdoors through a two-story living room and a wall of glass. A separate family room extends to an outdoor great room.

A combination of expansive spaces and private retreats, including a first-floor parents’ suite and a master suite, both with separate living areas, make the home function day-to-day and on special occasions. A glass-sided cat walk creates a transparent bridge on the second level and openings erase any boundary between multiple indoor and outdoor living and dining spaces on both the first and second floor.
