Nestled into the green & gold tones of Soquel's Hidden Valley, this Copper Canyon Hideaway transforms weathered metals and organic forms into permanent sanctuary.
Through the grandeur of an arched window that welcomes your approach, you find a cascade of molten glass pendants; connecting two levels of the space, leaving you a moment to appreciate the interior and exterior landscape.
As daylight fades, sculptural lighting transforms the interior into an alluring sanctuary.
Volcanic stone cascades across the fireplace wall, framing a mantel encased in Emperador marble. Fragmented warm light glows from a suspended woven pendant and goblet like up-lights reach for the ceiling and gently caress you. Copper touches punctuate the living spaces, with colors of various metals and oxidized patinas that shift slowly, as light moves across their surfaces.
The distressed oak coffee table anchors the space alongside blocky leather seating, accented with softer open frame side chairs that wear a beautiful deep burnt orange velvet.
The kitchen's dramatic marble island recalls an aerial riverbed view, its veining reflecting copper accents threaded throughout. Exposed ceiling beams ground soaring volumes while nodding to subtle Spanish influences, their weathered texture contrasting precision-crafted cabinetry.
The dining table emerges as a sculptural centerpiece, its solid oak form creating an intimate gathering point where the family's creative energy flows as naturally as conversation, framed by the ever-changing canvas of valley light.
Golden California sunshine floods the space by day, while soft lit built-in shelving transforms into glowing galleries for ceramics and greenery by night. The breakfast nook embodies the family's dual nature—where morning coffee gives way to homework supervision, and intimate dinners expand into impromptu gatherings celebrating this hidden canyon sanctuary.
