Located in Tarzana's quiet neighborhood, the residence blends craftsmanship details with Tuscan architecture. Centered around a courtyard, the design prioritizes seamless indoor-outdoor connections. ## Crafting Atmosphere with Natural Materials Olive trees imported from Napa Valley and limestone walls draped in climbing vines establish Tuscan vibes at the entrance. The 12-ft ceiling foyer features hand-applied greige plaster walls softened by Belgian linen drapery. Tumbled limestone floors and French iron doors highlight European-inspired details throughout the home. ## Landscape as Architecture The U-shaped layout divides private and social spaces into two wings while maximizing natural light and views. The central pool, surrounded by fragrant rosemary, blurs boundaries between built and natural environments. A 35-ft entrance bridge was designed as the courtyard's focal point. ## Zen-Inspired Atrium The home's most dramatic feature is a central atrium showcasing a crane-installed Bonsai tree. Framed by surrounding architecture, this space creates a meditative pause within the home. The adjacent kitchen features custom oak cabinetry and a Bonsai marble island, creating what designers call a 'full circle moment.' ## Balancing Scale with Livability Inspired by Tuscan villas, interiors use materials meant to age gracefully. The family room's floor-to-ceiling fireplace serves as a sculptural anchor between RH's Belgian linen sofas. Local artist Zack Bayati's custom artwork and Berber Imports accessories add character throughout the thoughtfully designed spaces. ## A Private Sanctuary The home sold off-market to a couple relocating from Malibu seeking privacy. Despite dramatic 12-ft ceilings and 10-ft windows, the home maintains practical living details. Designers emphasize achieving this balance was their ultimate goal, creating spaces that feel both grand and intimately livable. ## Primary Suite Serenity The primary bedroom boasts garden views and its own fireplace. Jenni Kayne linen bedding with Parachute Home linens and RH's Belgian linen chairs create understated luxury. A Zara Home side table and jute rug add warmth. The en-suite features handmade Moroccan tiles, a freestanding tub, and brass-clad shower. ## A Lasting Legacy Sfadia describes the project as 'a resort-like home designed to infuse peace.' Realizing their dream of a sprawling single-story home, the designers created a legacy property meant to improve with age. The off-market sale demonstrates strong demand for permanent, serene sanctuaries in modern life. ## Sources covering this story - https://design-milk.com/tuscan-inspired-home-tarzana-california/ — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
