1. Wooden elements with white walls
Sycamore is contemporary in its design. “Contemporary design is all about creating soft and livable spaces,” explains Lynne. Sycamore leans into this aesthetic by evoking the outdoor environment inside the home. The living room’s wood ceiling beams and walnut accents create layers and texture, reflecting the surrounding lawns, gardens, trees and California vistas. Following a “less is more” approach, the home’s all-white walls and furnishings brighten the space and highlight the natural elements.
2. Larger-than-life outdoor living space
Sycamore’s outdoor living area is almost as spacious as the interior. The Pacaso design team saw this as another opportunity to tie the home to the landscape.“We wanted the outdoor space to reflect the indoors and create one seamless communal space,” says Lynne. To do this, the team placed upholstered sofas, coffee tables, hanging light fixtures and an outdoor fireplace on the patio to mirror the calm and luxurious ambiance inside the home.
3. Spacious dining room serving up garden views
Sycamore’s compact layout led the team to look at each section of the home with design moments in mind. The dining area is a great example of this.“We wanted to make that space purposeful,” says Lynne. The team paired the six-seater table with wide seats and transformed the adjacent nook into a livable space. Cozy furnishings and large windows create a space to hang out, engage with family and enjoy entertainment. The bright natural light and views of the garden produce a delightful greenhouse feel.
4. Open plan space with room-to-room flow
Imagine waking up to views of the Pacific. That’s what you get to enjoy each morning from the primary bedroom in Sycamore, a space that takes full advantage of the home’s location.“The goal was to eliminate barriers, making one room flow into the next,” Lynne said. The team used Fleetwood glass walls to open the room to a massive deck, capturing the breezy vibe of California. The design again creates a connection between indoor and outdoor, no matter where you are in the home.
