Working within the required French Provence aesthetic of the custom home enclave Shady Canyon in Irvine, Avalon Architectural created the historically accurate “modern Provence farmhouse,” with impeccable attention to detail. Architect Fleetwood Joiner personally hand-distressed stones for the entry archway. The central courtyard houses hot dip/cold dip pools, while other modern amenities meet the daily and entertaining needs of this young family. The main swimming pool and fountains are backdrops to the greatroom.
