The Reserve is a modern farmhouse in a semi-rural suburban city, Hidden Hills, famous for its celebrity residents, who seek the area for a low profile.
Set upon 1.2 acres, this project attempted to modernize the restrictive design covenants and architectural guidelines set forth by the city. Paying homage to its northern sibling, the Napa Valley, this ranch home features a three distinct structures that house modern amenities ranging from a professional chef’s kitchen with a walk-in refrigerator to a separate yoga retreat, movie theater and equestrian facilities.
Indoor amenities also include an elevator, laundry jet, multiple cooking areas, a custom wine cellar, a wellness center, a media room and a discreet mechanized carousel to feature a car collection.
The 2,000 square feet master suite on the main floor seeks to unite its pastoral outdoor with customized features indoors. A zero-edge pool in the outdoor area is nestled among a landscaped garden, protected mature trees, and a equestrian conservatory enveloping the area.
The project was the first of its kind to explore a modern vernacular in a city that prescribes a narrow range of design elements, details and overall vocabulary.
