5 Inspired by abstract design, the Riviera Escape achieves a more intense, modern West Coast aesthetic that we wanted. We chose multi-pitched sloping roofs, contrasting white stucco with dark siding, natural stone veneer, and tall solid timber columns with braces. Inside, the ceilings soar thanks to the framing of the multi-pitched roof and the result is a dramatic, airy interior. There are steel stairs and an open media loft that looks down into the entryway and living room. At more than 3,500 square feet, the design includes a luxurious primary suite and two upstairs bedrooms. Throughout the home, you'll notice touches of Scandinavian design elements combined with natural finishes and materials like wood and metal, giving a nature-inspired feel to the rooms. Obviously, with a natural surrounding as beautiful as this, we wanted to include as much of the outside environment into the home as possible. We made the floor plan angular, with sharp extending lines that makes sense for the home's lot. The builder, Designated Developments, executed this design perfectly. The angles help open up the exterior views and invites outdoor living. It's impossible to stand in the house and not notice the stunning, lush natural landscape. For added curb appeal, an L-shaped, three-car garage creates a welcoming courtyard as you approach the home and reduces the emphasis on the garage doors that face the street.
