A cherished family home that was passed down through multiple generations, Villa Añoranza presented a unique opportunity to design not just one, but two distinct homes on the same property. The main house was built by the original owner, with the owner’s children later building a stand-alone casita on the same property. We sought to honor the family’s remarkable legacy by crafting a home focused on communal spaces and ideal for multigenerational living, while updating the home to embrace the studio’s design principles and infuse it with a modern sensibility.
