Sutro Architects designed this Spanish-style home in the idyllic community of Winship Park, a neighborhood of Ross, California. Surrounded by towering redwoods, this 2,850-square-foot, three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence boasts an earthy, warm color scheme that honors its Spanish architectural style. Situated at the base of a hillside, the previous home that resided on the site had faced major drainage and structural problems.
The builder, who is also the homeowner, opted to tear down and rebuild a new home on the site that would better maximize the property. Inspired by the surrounding landscape, the designer selected a complementary material palette. This includes richly stained white oak flooring, custom cabinets, stone countertops, walls with a plaster finish, and bronze and wrought-iron accents.

The goal of this project was to create a “refined but approachable interior shell in which this young family would live,” states designer Lauren Nelson.
Above: The powder room features a stone sink carved from a rare green Calacatta marble. The vanity was custom fabricated from Burlwood. The porcelain and brass wall sconce is from Urban Electric Co. The mirror is vintage, the flooring is handcrafted tile, and the walls are dark plaster.

What We Love: This gorgeous home features bespoke millwork, authentic finishes, decorative lighting, and architectural elements that reference Spanish revival period homes. Thoughtful details make this home feel comfortable yet elegant, while arched doorways, hand-painted tiles, and wrought-iron accents enhance its timeless charm. The open-concept layout seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living with light-filled rooms that overlook the beautiful surroundings of redwood trees.
