Design, Nature, Harmony
Jenni Kayne is a California-based brand that inspires women to live well every day. Featured in leading lifestyle magazines such as Architectural Digest and Cultured, they have high expertise in wardrobe essentials and all the things that make a house a home. The latest project of designer Jenni Kayne calls special attention to the transformation of a ranch in Santa Ynez into an idyllic and harmonious living space. You may find it all in this heavenly ranch: baby goats, yoga sessions by the pool, ponies, and the most peculiar design pieces you can imagine.
The ranch transformation was completed in March 2022 after a two-year renovation. Surrounded by 20 acres of land, this beautiful location serves as the main entrance into the Jenni Kayne world. It has been respectfully preserved, with the original architecture intact, since Jenni Kayne decided to rebuild the house from its remains.
The primary goal during the ranch’s reconstruction was to open up as much space as possible, allowing you to look through the house and out into nature. Every room was designed with the view in mind, beautifully materialized and accented by the expansive exterior windows and doors of OTIIMA, which calmly invite the outdoors in. The selected frame system, Fusion 38, stands out as a system with hidden bearings that are completely merged within the finishing materials. This innovative system enabled a seamless fusion and connection between the interior and exterior spaces.
Perhaps his most famous principle, “Less is more,” summarizes Mies’ approach to design: stripping away the unnecessary to reveal the essential. His buildings are characterized by clean lines, open floor plans, and an absence of ornamentation. This philosophy encourages architects to prioritize spatial clarity and material integrity, resulting in modern and enduring structures.
