This private Mexican Beach House uses regional materials: red
tiles for the
roof, terra
cotta and inlaid pebbles embedded in the
tiled floor, inlaid pebbles on the bar, talavera
tiled bathrooms, the mesquite and hand - carved wood used in the armoires, dining and living room furnishings, decorative wooden accents used on the doors and windows, the vintage collectable accessories amassed from around the Mexican countryside and the world, and the gorgeous framed art in every room.
In works such as San Diego House, white stucco bungalows thatched with terra -
cotta roof tiles and turquoise wooden shutters lay nestled within Californian eucalyptus and palm trees.
