Eric Olsen Design, along with Morrison Interiors, designed this farmhouse-inspired home tucked into a hillside with breathtaking canyon views in the heart of Corona del Mar, California. Offering hillside views that bring a serene sense of mountain living to the coastal setting. The natural beauty of the surrounding landscape serves as the perfect backdrop, seamlessly blending with the home’s design.
A thoughtfully curated use of organic textures and warm wood tones creates a sense of harmony between the indoors and outdoors. The homeowner’s vision was to create a home that felt like it was located in Napa Valley. With that in mind, the structure is designed with an agrarian architectural direction with farmhouse elements of stone and wood that are rustic, organic, and comfortable.

This 4,800 square foot, single-story home blurs the line between indoors and outdoors with multiple large pocketing doors opening to the outdoor courtyard and yard spaces.
Turning its back to the street, the home focuses on the unique view of the Buck Gully reserve. It provides a serene environment with lush landscaping and multiple spaces for entertaining their large family.
A gravel motor court and native plantings create a casual, welcoming entrance, with olive trees lining the path to the front door. Around the home, the plant palette stays soft and textural—sage, rosemary, and lavender drift between mature trees, grounding the contemporary architecture in something familiar and timeless.
Gravel walkways, warm wood decking, and organic stonework create subtle transitions between structured moments and open space.

At the back of the home, the design opens to sweeping canyon vistas. An elevated tanning terrace, a firepit lounge framed by olive trees, and a sunlit pool patio all come together to support a lifestyle that flows with ease. Each outdoor space was designed to be lived in and loved.
This is a landscape that doesn’t compete with the view—it complements it, creating a sense of calm that carries through every inch of the property.
