Paradise Found

Paradise found

This week I read an article in Architectural Digest one of the homes of my doppelganger Cindy Crawford (She wishes)!
It seems miss Cindy has great taste not only in clothing but her interiors.  She and her entrepreneur husband Rande Gerber decided to partner up with George Clooney and build a sort of compound  or side by side home if you will for themselves when they come to visit the small town of Los Cabos, which just looks like paradise on the southern tip of the Mexico's Baja peninsula.  The group agreed that they wanted to stay away from the typical "hacienda" style homes that you commonly see.  This home is much more modern and one of the most serene homes I've seen with incredible exotic, warm wood coffer ceilings and open to the elements wall concepts. You enter into a double height central courtyard with Spanish Limestone on floors and walls and exposed to the elements. The colors are very neutral, but you don't need a lot of foof when you have views with spectacular turquoise waters and lush palms and other vegetation right out your door and even on your lanai as your decoration.  You can see that the space was designed for entertaining with so many spaces for gathering, the compound is named Casamigo's which means "house of friends".  
George did agree or entrust Rande and Cindy to make the majority of the design decisions knowing that they do have an eye for design as well as impeccable style.  They worked with a local architect, Ricardo Legorrita and son Victor Legorrita.  This home is stylish, bright, warm and welcoming just like you want to feel when you come home or enter into your vacation home.  
Enjoy these pictures of Casamigo's.
