Hillsborough Residence

This contemporary 5000 sq ft home in Hillsborough, California designed by Robert Nebolon is located adjacent to an existing creek on a heavily wooded site “The design is based on Vastu Shastra principles which were modified to adapt to California outdoor living for an ‘East meets West’ fusion. To fit the odd site and address vastu, the final building form evolved into a three‐wing solution: the wings skew at a 15‐degree angle to each other thus making way for gardens and allowing daylight to penetrate the house in unexpected ways.

Throughout the home and especially evident in the main central living room, colorful large art pieces enliven the space. Large windows and glass doors allow views into the surrounding landscape and merge the homes interior with the garden to blur boundaries. It’s like living in an arboretum inside and out.

Hacienda Granada

Featured in Dwell, Hacienda Granada is an eclectic modern residence designed by Working Holiday Studio that subtly combines the Spanish influences of a Mexican hacienda with Scandinavian minimalism and features All Weather Architectual Aluminun custom windows and doors.

Carlos Nuade and Whitney Brown run Working Holiday, a multi disciplinary creative studio based in Los Angeles that boasts a portfolio of several renovation projects across Southern California.

Originally built in 1962, the 2,762-square-foot residence with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths was not the couple’s dream home but they saw potential in its vaulted ceilings, ample-sized kitchen, backyard pool and large garage and more importantly, they found a space where they could infuse with their own personal history and distinct taste. "Our style is very modern and minimalist," Carlos explains. "But we still wanted to include some of the warmth, accents, and tones from traditional Spanish architecture."

Carlos and Whitney chose All Weather Series 5000 casement and fixed windows with SDL's to infuse the home with the Hacienda vibe. They replaced the existing patio entry door with expansive Series 8100 Multi Slide Doors that connect to the living and dining room. The couple opened up the kitchen by adding an All Weather Series 7000 French Doors and repositioned the island so you can see into the house when they are cooking. They also reshaped most of the interior doorways, creating arches to enhance the Spanish-Mexican vibe.

All Weather was honored to be selected for Hacienda Granada because Carlos and Whitney treat their projects like showrooms and they only bring on brands they like and curate the space accordingly.
