10,000 sq. ft home in Rancho Santa Fe.

Built on 4 acres with a home, barn riding arena, guesthouse and pastures.

Thomas J. Taylor Construction, Inc. managed the project from grading the home, barn and arena, construction and landscaping.

The vision of the owner was to create a home that had the feel of a midwestern farmhouse with extensive horse and riding facilities.

The home features of exposed timber ceilings, reclaimed yellow pine flooring, soapstone countertops, copper and antique lighting and cedar siding with variable widths.

Thomas J. Taylor Construction, Inc.’s cabinet and mill shop built all the cabinetry on the project and worked with the owner on all details of design and construction down to the forged cabinet door hinges.

The owner was involved on a daily basis with Thomas J. Taylor Construction on design decisions as varied as tile, plumbing and light fixtures to the copper corner terminations of the siding.

The owner is an avid rider and the care and safety of the horses and their facilities were as important as the home.

This project was a unique opportunity to work almost exclusively with the client to bring life to her vision of a perfect home that fits her lifestyle and specific needs.
