The Ryder Residence is located atop the hills surrounding San Clemente, this single family residence captures breathtaking views. Originally the home was simply the same as the others, part of a development that ignored the beauty of the site. Through a complete remodel this home has been transformed into a unique sanctuary that embodies modern organic living. Entering the home through a large walnut pivot door one’s eye is immediately drawn through the great space and captured by the view beyond the home. Large pocket doors hide away and the great space becomes part of the outside. The seamless connection is enhanced through the continuation of the naturally finished flag stone floor. Naturally finished materials and a neutral color palette create a space that seamlessly transitions to the outside space. The home frames and captures the view and blends inside living with the temperate outside climate. With niches of gathering spaces dispersed throughout the home and garden space, this home is a unique setting for entertaining and the perfect example of how to take full advantage of the lifestyle of California living.
