Torrance 3
THREE HOUSES, THREE DISTINCT PERSONALITIES
The Retreat: The first house on the row is an understated, calming retreat designed for the eldest members of the tight-knit family. With soothing colors, thoughtful design, and just enough flair to provide a distinct personality, this 2,600 sf home offers spaces to entertain, unwind and get artistic.
The Showstopper: Created for the social butterfly of the family, this residence boasts spaces for entertaining and stealing away. An entire level of the home is dedicated to having a good time, complete with flamingo pink bar and tropical décor that blends into the exquisitely decked out pool, patio, and deck space that evokes Miami Beach. Alternately, the home also features a fully sound-proofed music room and a private sauna and spa retreats for when the owners are ready to relax and unwind.
The Work of Art: The final house on the private row belongs to Soheil, the CEO of Nakhshab Development and Design. A true craftsman, the home exudes style and sophistication while remaining supremely functional for everyday family life. Intricate tile work, bold color schemes, and elegant wood built-ins anchor the eclectic décor that defines Nakhshab’s personal style. Outside, a large outdoor kitchen and private pool retreat offer the perfect escape after a long day spent in his home office.
The site, once filled with dry brush and dead grass, is now a lush, tropical oasis. Drawing inspiration from Balboa Park’s Japanese Friendship Garden, they created an outdoor walking trail to connect the three homes, dotting the path with fruit trees and other dense vegetation.
“We wanted to create something that will grow with us, with our families,” says Nakhshab. “San Diego is our home and we are very proud of our roots.”
