Casa Catalina Style

Casa Catalina Style is inspired by Spanish Revival architecture found in the hills above Sunset Boulevard to the beaches of Malibu and Santa Barbara. Hand-made tiles, wrought iron sconces and graceful archways set the stage for this aesthetic. Art Deco, Moroccan and tropical elements work in harmony with Andalusian, French, Italian, even Venetian Gothic details. Old Hollywood glamour is updated with global bohemian and Palm Springs modern influences. These motifs are especially appropriate in southern Arizona given our beautiful geography, climate and Spanish Colonial history. From our Catalina Mountains to Catalina Island, these inspirations provide us with a diverse yet cohesive design palette.
