A TOUR OF THE EXTERIOR + OUTDOOR LIVING SPACES AT THE FARM

For a home so strongly inspired by its setting, it's only fitting we share the spaces that connect the untouched nature to the newly crafted estate.

A WARM WELCOME

A stone, wood and iron gate marks the entrance to The Farm while the winding driveway sets the tone for all the beauty and adventure to be experienced atop the property.

A pair of deep occasional chairs provide seating for two on the front porch without blocking any of the window views. We intentionally tucked a few more intimate seating arrangements around the home for quiet escapes to unplug and reconnect.

INDOOR - OUTDOOR

The main living space extends out to the front porch with its huge pocket doors leaving these woven rocking chairs an obvious choice to soak in all the serenity beyond.

Check out our main living tour for the backstory on these rockers!

THE BACK

Acres of rolling hills, growing vineyards and undiscovered trails make up the beautiful "backyard" of this property. With all of that adventure around, we made sure to create comfortable spaces to relax and breathe in the fresh air, close to home.

DINNER PARTY PARADISE

Rustic barn doors off the family den open wide to a terrace-covered dining space encouraging effortless indoor-outdoor entertaining.

The light sweeping in through the doorway fills the otherwise dark + moody den — a must see in this tour!

The infinity edge pool is surrounded by seating options to further soak in the sun or doze in the shade out of the splash zone.

Golden hour brings the most magical lighting through the whimsical trees reflected on the water.

A dark sky ordinance in the "neighborhood" limits the need for exterior fixtures and maximizes the ultimate star-gazing experience.

THE CARRIAGE HOUSE

PROJECT SANTA YNEZ // PATTERSON CUSTOM HOMES // BRANDON ARCHITECTS // BLACKBAND DESIGN // RYAN GARVIN PHOTOGRAPHY

There aren't necessarily outdoor living areas set up with furnishings around the carriage house but, there is way too much curb appeal inspiration not to share! Stay tuned for an interior tour of this garage and bunk house...

LIGHT IN THE TUNNEL

A glass corridor connects the main house to the carriage house with stunning steel-framed panes. Upon arrival to this photoshoot, photographer Manolo Langis halted his greetings to capture this golden hour glow at its prime.

MEMORIES IN THE MAKING

Days at The Farm are meant to be spent outside... where time ticks a little slower and being present lasts a little longer. Fortunately for these guests, that sense of adventure and solitude continues inside the home where so many more memories are made.

INTRODUCING PROJECT MARINER SHORES

October 8, 2020 by blackband Filed Under: Blackband Blog, Interiors Leave a Comment

RENDERING REVEAL VIA INTRACORP

There's a new neighborhood coming to Newport Beach

and we are so excited to be in the mix of it all!

THE ISLE AT MARINER SHORES

The Isle at Mariner Shores is a new development of 36 townhomes thoughtfully designed to reflect the laidback yet luxurious lifestyle that locals love in Newport Beach. Internationally accredited and locally established real estate development team Intracorp invited us along to bring our custom home experience to the interiors of their coastal farmhouses. These brand new homes will be hitting the market in Spring 2021 and we're taking you with us (virtually) every step of the way!

LOTS TO LOVE ABOUT THIS LOCATION

the_isle_mariner_shores_newport_beach_map

Located where Eastside Costa Mesa's 17th Street meets Newport Beach, this sweet spot enjoys the balance between a vibrant social life and the ease of relaxation. Scenic strolls through Back Bay, bike rides to the beach, retail therapy at local boutiques and menus full of unique and healthy dining experiences will keep homeowners' calendars full of all their favorite things.

COASTAL FARMHOUSE CURB APPEAL

INSPIRATION IMAGE VIA BLACKBAND DESIGN

This community will boast the best of Newport Beach neighborhoods with clean, coastal siding, bright whites contrasting rich hues and stone that adds the layer of warmth to make a house feel like home.

INTERIOR DESIGN DIRECTION

PROJECT IRIS // BRANDON ARCHITECTS // MIKEN CONSTRUCTION // BLACKBAND DESIGN // RYAN GARVIN PHOTOGRAPHY

With a custom home approach, we're bringing our Blackband twist to The Isle's coastal farmhouse architecture. Every once in a while, we branch out of the personal custom home clients (which we love so much) and our team gets to be a part of developing spaces for multiple families and individuals to enjoy. These townhomes will incorporate popular elements known to the neighborhood along with unexpected touches that make it your own. There's no doubt these homes will be full of style – just like you!

CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS

the_isle_mariner_shores_newport_beach_framing-2

The build has begun! In the last month, the foundation was poured and the framing has been going up for the first set of buildings. We love seeing the physical progress of our projects taking shape... the countdown to Spring 2021 is on!

THE DARK SIDE OF THE FARM

We're taking you down the main corridor of the home that connects the great room to the master suite. This light-filled walkway boasts the crisp white walls seen throughout the rest of the house, but it also packs a few bold punches of darker hues along the way. Those intriguingly moody spaces are what we're showing off today!

HALLWAY

PROJECT SANTA YNEZ // PATTERSON CUSTOM HOMES // BRANDON ARCHITECTS // BLACKBAND DESIGN // MANOLO LANGIS PHOTOGRAPHY

This wide corridor branches off the great room, curves around a few guest suites and the spaces we're sharing in this post, and ends in the dreamy master suite. Steel-framed windows and doors line large portions of the hallway welcoming in lots of light while family favorites of the homeowners' art collection fill the remaining walls with personality and fond memories.

DEN

PROJECT SANTA YNEZ // PATTERSON CUSTOM HOMES // BRANDON ARCHITECTS // BLACKBAND DESIGN // MANOLO LANGIS PHOTOGRAPHY

Black tongue and groove walls and a matching ceiling with unexpected wood beams distinguish the family den. Large windows and glass doors flood the space with light, and playful furnishings invite everyone in to hang.

LIGHT + DARK

"We kept the whole house really light and airy with these beautiful muted jewel tones and then broke it up with dark walls in the den that extend across the hall. I love the heaviness of this room and the balance it brings to the home."

- Wendy Blackband

POWDER ROOM

POWER POWDER

A killer slab wall sets the tone for this sophisticated bathroom while seagrass wallpaper and quirky "farm friends" art remind us that the design is not meant to be taken too seriously.

LAUNDRY ROOM

PROJECT SANTA YNEZ // PATTERSON CUSTOM HOMES // BRANDON ARCHITECTS // BLACKBAND DESIGN // RYAN GARVIN PHOTOGRAPHY

"I love where the laundry room is situated in the home — it’s between the main living and sleeping quarters and the window peeks out to a hidden patio off the kitchen pantry. It's full of style and function and overall such a fun laundry room design."

Rachel, Blackband Design

UTILITY SPACE

The louvered closet doors give a beautiful facade to stored linens and Audio-Visual equipment. Bet you didn't see that one coming!

THE FARM IN SANTA YNEZ, CA

Sprawling hills and rustic charm set the stage for a dream project in wine country of Santa Ynez Valley. Custom home builder Andrew Patterson invited us on to his team with Brandon Architects to create this one-of-a-kind getaway retreat for his family affectionately referred to as "The Farm." This passion project of sorts resulted in striking design features, a beautiful execution of craftsmanship by all parties involved and priceless memories that will be treasured for years to come.

Press play for a fly-over tour of this breathtakingly beautiful property and a peek inside the home!

Stone walls define the entry from exterior and interior perspectives while adding a strong, natural element to the decorative herringbone wood floors and sleek steel-framed windows.

KITCHEN

KITCHEN COLOR-BLOCK

Naturally-stained cabinetry, an oversized stainless steel hood and white moroccan tiles create a large-scale color-block in the otherwise neutral kitchen.

WINE, OF COURSE

A wine-country retreat wouldn't be complete without a wine collection. This insulated display tucked around the corner from the kitchen doubles as a work of art filling the white walls of the corridor.

DINING

RUSTIC CHARM

An antique buffet brings in a touch of rustic charm to the contemporary dining space.

PROJECT SANTA YNEZ // PATTERSON CUSTOM HOMES // BRANDON ARCHITECTS // BLACKBAND DESIGN // MANOLO LANGIS PHOTOGRAPHY

Vaulted ceilings and the overall large volume of the home allowed for statement lighting without obstructing any views — both a must on the homeowners' wishlist. The fixtures and outdoor scenery play a huge role in the home design.

LIVING ROOM

A pair of L-shaped sectionals, rustic consoles and steel coffee tables support the symmetry of the living room while offering ample space to lounge and enjoy the open air views.

PROJECT SANTA YNEZ // PATTERSON CUSTOM HOMES // BRANDON ARCHITECTS // BLACKBAND DESIGN // MANOLO LANGIS PHOTOGRAPHY

We insisted on these woven rocking chairs in the furnishings presentation but when they were delayed on backorder there was question of whether or not they were meant to be for the space...

They arrived on photoshoot day and instantly became one of the family's favorite spots to soak in the scenic views and serenity.

Home Reveal: Project Newport Wedge

August 12, 2019 by blackband Filed Under: Interiors Leave a Comment

A beach house that defies all coastal trends

and takes rad surf style to a sophisticated level.

We played up the sleek, contemporary finishes and architecture of this home with colorful textiles, organic patterns and collected pieces from the homeowners' travels creating a home full of personality. This is not your average beach house, it's a work of art.

Interior Design: Blackband Design

Photography: Ryan Garvin

PROJECT NEWPORT WEDGE BY BLACKBAND DESIGN // PHOTOGRAPHY BY RYAN GARVIN

Symmetry runs deep in this home and gives order to the colorful mix of patterns. A bold pair of bookcases flanking the mantel set the stage for double L-shape sectionals to fill the long floor plan and two eccentric occasional chairs to continue the mirrored effect.

The formal dining space is kept casual with woven chairs and a patterned rug, yet it boasts exceptional sophistication in scale and finishes. Playful colors come in through unique florals and local surf panel art. [Below] The breakfast nook offers additional seating and style with its mix of soft upholstery, leather weaves and three-dimensional art.

A floor-to-ceiling velvet channel-tufted banquette replaced built-in cabinets of the former office for a statement seating situation in the stylish game room.

Exuberant and zen -- all in one.

Stripes in the guest quarters offer a nod to nautical design while setting the foundation for additional patterns to be layered in. Sign us up for a stay here!

Waterfront-living isn't complete without proper furnishings to take in all the views and this outdoor dining banquette exceeds all those dock expectations.

Thanks for taking the tour!! Let us know what you think of this one-of-a-kind beach house in the comments below and save your favorite ideas to that "dream home" board on Pinterest!

Traditional meets modern in this Newport Beach home complete with family-friendly furnishings + a sophisticated color palette

We took on this home remodel with our in-house renovation team -- knocking out walls + extending the interiors to create an open + airy space for our clients' family to spend time together. We finished the renovation with clean lines, bold paint selections + plush yet practical furnishings for all to enjoy, even the pup... as seen throughout the tour. A "before + after" will need to follow to show what a difference this transformation made.
