Modern Calm, Historic Echoes | Casa San Francisco

ByMyProperty Life

Casa San Francisco is a quiet, monolithic retreat set among vineyards near San Miguel de Allende, organized as five stone volumes linked by a lateral corridor and entered through a double‑height vestibule that eases the transition from open fields to a protected interior.
The house pairs local stone, unpolished Mexican marble, and hand‑applied lime paint to create calm, monochromatic surfaces that register light and time, with oak furniture and warm lighting inspired by sixteenth‑century convents.

What you’ll see
– A clear west–east split: living, dining, kitchen, terrace, garage, and services to the west; four bedrooms to the east for privacy and contemplation.
– Framed views and landscaped patios at each volume, bringing vineyard horizons and seasonal changes into daily life without visual clutter.
– A measured, corridor‑led sequence where daylight guides movement and the architecture stays quiet, grounded, and tactile.

Why it stands out
– Monastic calm meets vineyard living: a contemporary take on conventual spatial order translated into a home that celebrates slow rhythms and seasons.
– Minimal palette, maximum effect: local stone, lime wash, and unpolished marble form durable, low‑maintenance surfaces that age with dignity.
– Privacy by design: high, carefully placed openings and inward‑facing patios deliver light and ventilation while shielding everyday life.

    Situated on a triple-lot in Boulder’s Newlands neighborhood, this 3200 SF home was designed for a young couple looking to start a family and develop a property well-positioned for future resale in the Boulder real estate market. Our challenge was to preserve as much of the yard as possible while creating a 4BR, 3.5BA home that grouped master suite and kids’ bedrooms on a single floor, and accommodated a private guest suite, ample living areas, open kitchen, and detached garage with small studio space above. The gabled-roof design and divided light windows nod to the vernacular of adjacent properties while charred and stained cypress siding offers a distinctly contemporary tone. A long, horizontal volume stretches across the front perimeter of the property, concealing the large outdoor space behind. The design relies on standard wood framing to optimize budget without compromising form, and allows owners ample room to both grow their family and enjoy a fluid connection between indoor and outdoor areas.
