Casa Susana, California, USA
For Nakhshab Development and Design owner Soheil Nakhshab, family is everything. Together with his younger brother and father, the trio have helped countless families build their dream homes since 2003.
However, for his latest Mission Hills residential project, it was personal. Purchasing an unwieldy, unwanted plot stacked below a row of already-established homes, they completed their dream compound with three residences—one to suit the unique needs of each diverse family.
The final house, Casa Susana, on the private row belongs to Soheil. A true craftsman, the home exudes style and sophistication, yet is 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.
Due to the home’s higher seismic load, he added concrete into the floor system to provide a more rigid diaphragm than traditional wood could offer. Stepped retaining walls were incorporated to allow for multi-levels and a flat surface for practical outdoor use.
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.”
