THE RESIDENCE
Dubbed "Casa Orquidea" and featured in numerous international design publications, this delightful 6-bedroom/4.5-bath retreat was conceptualized by California architect Miguel Podolsky and brought to life by custom-built engineer Karl Gronemeyer. Spanning nearly 6,000 sq. ft., the residence showcases exquisite Spanish Colonial architecture and fine finishes. The open floor plan seamlessly integrates traditional aesthetics with old-world craftsmanship and timeless design elements, resulting in a layout that is both practical and imaginative. Distinctive Spanish style marries the finest materials and finishes, crafting spaces that are both inviting and eclectic, sophisticated yet comfortable.
