Perched prominently atop the famed oak-lined hilltops of Calabasas, Prado De La Puma is a 5,000-square-foot home that embraces the timeless magnificence of Tuscan design with a twist.

Nestled within The Oaks, a highly desirable gated community in Calabasas boasting natural beauty and stunning homes, the motivation for the Prado De La Puma renovation was to curate a unique residence that all would admire as a piece of art amongst the neighborhood's award-winning architecture. The sprawling home embraces the beauty of its Southern California environment and Modern Tuscan design by bringing natural colors, texture, and materials inside. Large, airy windows allow the warm sun to pour in and create an organic flow between the home’s interior and exterior, allowing the residents to take in views of the immaculately designed grounds as well as the smell of oak wafting through the hills outside.

Maximizing the Minimalist Aesthetic

Our initial task for this project was a small renovation. However, as the direction began to take shape, the project grew in scale, turning into a whole-home renovation.

Transforming the space into a European minimalistic work of art took center stage, balancing modern comforts and amenities without sacrificing simplicity and functionality.

While the home pays homage to Old World European architecture with its Tuscan styling, it modernizes the aesthetic with striking design details. In lieu of traditional Tuscan brown brick, the exterior is a study in light and reflection enhanced by the white limewashed finish.

Inside, a mix of textures and materials celebrate this modern Tuscan sensibility with a playground of look and feel.

The grandeur of the windows looking out into the courtyard invite both guests and light in, creating a bright and welcoming space while capturing the home’s warmth and natural elegance. Clerestory windows sit atop the larger windows, allowing the comforting California sunlight to pour in while offering privacy from neighboring homes.

Creating a bright, airy atmosphere compelled much of this project, transforming the previously dark and closed-off interior into an invigorating free-flowing space bursting with light and energy.

Dozens of varying tiles and slabs harmoniously clash, creating a dramatic experience that overwhelms the senses in the most awe-inspiring way.

The home's drama and elegance are further complemented by custom-made furniture and artwork by House of Morrison, ensuring the entire home is a one-of-a-kind work of art.
