A Warm Welcome: Inside Our Highland Hacienda Project

Some homes have a way of greeting you the moment you step inside—offering comfort, beauty, and a touch of the unexpected. That’s exactly the feeling we set out to create in our Highland Hacienda Project. Inspired by modern design principles but rooted in warmth and tradition, this home is a celebration of timeless style, natural materials, and thoughtful details.

The Vision

Our clients came to us with a dream: a home that balanced the rustic charm of a hacienda with the clean lines and livability of a modern space. They wanted warmth, texture, and character—without sacrificing a bright, airy feel. We immediately envisioned a design that married plaster finishes, earthy tones, handcrafted elements, and streamlined silhouettes.

Architectural Layers

From the beginning, we leaned into architectural details to set the tone. Natural wood beams add structure and warmth, while arched doorways and niches nod to classic hacienda style. Smooth plaster walls create a subtle, tactile backdrop for every room, and we layered in matte black hardware and lighting for a modern edge.

Large windows flood the interiors with natural light, bringing the desert landscape right into the heart of the home. The connection between indoors and outdoors became a driving force in our design choices, ensuring the home feels equally beautiful and functional for everyday living.

Spaces with Purpose

In the kitchen, a soft, neutral palette allows handcrafted tile and stone to shine. Open shelving displays artisan ceramics, while concealed storage keeps the space streamlined. The living room is anchored by a statement fireplace—smooth plaster with clean lines—flanked by built-in shelves styled with a curated mix of personal treasures and textural decor.

Bedrooms were designed as personal retreats, each with its own subtle personality while keeping a cohesive tone throughout the home. Organic linens, layered textures, and warm woods make these spaces inviting and restful.

The Final Layer: Styling

Styling day was where the Highland Hacienda truly came to life. We brought in greenery to soften the edges, woven textiles to add depth, and sculptural accents to give each space a collected feel. These finishing touches are what make a home feel personal, lived-in, and loved.

Why We Love This Project

The Highland Hacienda Project is a perfect example of how a home can feel both grounded in tradition and fresh in its execution. Every material, every color, and every piece of furniture was chosen with intention—to honor the architecture while supporting a modern lifestyle.

For us, this project wasn’t just about creating a beautiful house. It was about crafting a home that tells a story—one of warmth, welcome, and the kind of comfort that never goes out of style.
