The 1860 House
A historic home built in 1860, reimagined as a refined Spanish villa for a young couple — keeping the character and soul of the original architecture while making it feel fresh, elegant and right for the way they live today.
Exterior & courtyard
White stucco walls, terracotta roof tiles, arched openings, black metal-framed windows, natural wood, stone and lush greenery. The courtyard gathers a pool, outdoor dining, lounge zones, an arched gallery and a small wellness area with a sauna and an outdoor bathtub.
The bedroom
Classic architectural details with warm wood, soft textiles, brass accents and a light canopy bed — romantic, timeless and relaxed.
The TV lounge
The original ceiling was preserved and became one of the main features: deep blue walls, classical details, natural stone arches, warm wood and an oversized sofa made for slow evenings and movie nights.
Two bathrooms, two moods
Option one: quiet luxury — natural stone, warm wood and a calm palette. The approved design: rich burgundy accents, a statement glass chandelier and a geometric marble floor.
“For me, the most important thing is that the new architecture doesn’t feel ‘new’, but as though it has always been part of the house.”

Design vision vs. current space
See the idea before it’s built
The bedroom was already finished, but the client wanted more character and detail on the headboard wall. Drag to compare the room today with Kate’s new vision.
From drawings to reality
Completed, with a trusted team
“A few details from the completed project, and the team that worked on it”: a general contractor, built-in furniture, glass and mirrors, doors — and Kate as the project’s designer.
Client feedback
“Your team, you have done a phenomenal job. From the beginning you were paying attention to what I was asking and we went through different versions… you supervised, you managed, you did a great job of following up with the contractor to make sure everything was going according to plan. I would recommend you and your company without hesitation.”
“I love the living room, how everything came out, the lighting. I love the entryway… It’s like picking one of my children.”
“It’s a difficult job to understand the client’s needs correctly! You did it 👏👏”
