Canyon House

Tucked away in a quiet canyon between Avila Beach and San Luis Obispo, this Spanish-modern residence was thoughtfully designed to honor its surroundings—where centuries-old oaks frame the landscape and the distant calls of peacocks echo through the hills.

Throughout the home, warm plaster walls, natural textures and handcrafted details create a sense of calm and connection to place. The primary suite embraces a refined, spa-like atmosphere with custom cabinetry, Brizo plumbing fixtures, Caesarstone countertops and handcrafted Arto floor tile that adds warmth and character underfoot. In the guest bath, traditional Saltillo tile grounds the space, while hand-painted tiles from Tabarka Studio bring a layer of artistry and timeless charm.

Balancing contemporary simplicity with the soul of Spanish architecture, every material was selected to feel authentic, enduring and deeply rooted in the California landscape. The result is a home that feels both elevated and effortless—a modern retreat designed for slow mornings, open windows and life lived in rhythm with nature.
