Step 2: Choose an Architectural Direction That Fits Rancho Santa Fe
The most successful Rancho Santa Fe homes have a clear architectural “language”:
- Spanish Revival / Mediterranean: warm stone, plaster textures, arches, timeless proportion
- Modern Ranch / Transitional: relaxed elegance, clean lines, natural materials
- Contemporary Estate: minimal detailing, expansive glazing, strong geometry, curated materials
The goal is not to chase trends. It’s to create a design that will still feel beautiful 15 years from now.
