The charming town of Ojai, located northwest of Los Angeles and east of Santa Barbara, is nestled in a valley surrounded by hills and mountains. It’s known for its artful, health- and ecology-focused culture, as well as popular annual music and wine festivals. A recently listed midcentury home in the town’s exclusive East End provides a relaxing base for enjoying all the area has to offer.

Shaded by trees, this remodeled 1960s home in Ojai fits perfectly with the area’s laid-back vibe. The single-story home was carefully restored by its current owners to celebrate midcentury modern design.

The three-bedroom, two-bath property is located just minutes from Ojai’s quaint boutiques and organic cafes. The home is a lush oasis within the desert landscape—and it comes with a detached studio and a shimmering backyard pool with a spa.

The current owners, an actor and a director, lovingly embraced many of the home’s period details during renovation work—including the extensive redwood paneling, floor-to-ceiling windows, and architectural cinderblock screens.

The Aurora Orange front door makes a classic midcentury statement. Clad in vertically laid wooden slats, the exterior previews details found throughout the interior.

  • The CVC House

    The CVC House is generated from the articulation of the garden´s exterior spaces, terraces and the central patio with the spaces that were required by the client, as a way to generate a dialogue between the built space and the open space. In addition to a sequence of open spaces with varying degrees of intimacy, that allow to pass gradually from the large space of the street to the green space at the back of the plot. Inside a 3x3x3 grid, 10 volumes are distributed around a central patio. This way, the project intertwines two units that can be inhabited independently. A compact program within a porous massing, allows the interior spaces to have optimal conditions of sunlight and views without compromising the privacy of its occupants and without reducing the open areas (patios and gardens of the house). The use of red pigmented concrete as a structural and finishes system and allows to generate pergolas, slabs, beams and homogeneous walls, that emphasizes the integral nature of the project.
