Villa Plantero - Rost Architects

In March 2022, Rost Architects started work on the restoration of a beautiful mid century rancho home in Orange County. The existing home sits on a large secluded lot at the base of a large hillside surrounded by dense vegetation and mature trees. The existing home was purchased by our clients and was in need of a full renovation which included architectural, landscape and interiors. Rost Architects provided the design for all three elements of the property. The clients on this project were a young family with four children. It was a wonderful collaboration and the entire team was very happy with the design. Check out the design flythrough below. We hope you enjoy.
