DEL VALLE: A Historic Spanish Revival Transformed for Modern Living 

Del Valle is a stunning single-family residence, originally built in the historic Spanish Revival style, reimagined by Mueller Design to seamlessly blend timeless architecture with contemporary living. The goal of this project was to preserve the essence of the home’s heritage while enhancing its functionality to accommodate a more open and modern lifestyle.

Architectural Transformation: Honoring the Past, Embracing the Future

Mueller Design meticulously reconfigured the home’s floor plan to optimize flow and spatial efficiency while maintaining the charm and character that define Spanish-style architecture. The result is a harmonious balance between historic elegance and modern comfort, with an open-concept layout that maximizes natural light and enhances the connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The home’s living room serves as a focal point of design excellence, featuring hand-tooled Douglas Fir paneling that has been expertly stained with three distinct tones to create depth and richness. This meticulous craftsmanship adds a layer of warmth and authenticity to the space, preserving the home’s historic charm while enhancing its visual appeal.

Bespoke Interior Elements: A Seamless Design Narrative

Every detail of the Del Valle residence was carefully considered to maintain design continuity. The kitchen cabinetry was crafted using the same Douglas Fir technique as the living room paneling, ensuring a seamless flow between spaces. Custom-built elements throughout the home reflect Mueller Design’s commitment to artistry, craftsmanship, and unparalleled quality.

All furniture was designed exclusively by Mueller Design, reinforcing the cohesive aesthetic of the home. Bespoke pieces blend modern functionality with traditional influences, creating a timeless yet contemporary interior.

To further enhance the ambiance, custom window treatments were crafted specifically for this residence. Flat Roman shades made from fine linen were installed to allow soft, diffused light to enter, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere while maintaining a sense of privacy and movement in each space.

A Fusion of Modern Comfort and Historic Character

To ensure that the home retained its historical integrity, key antique pieces were carefully selected and placed throughout the residence. The entryway is adorned with a distinguished antique piece that immediately sets the tone for the home’s unique blend of old-world charm and modern refinement. Additionally, the master bedroom vanity, a vintage selection, adds a touch of history and authenticity to the private sanctuary.

The walls throughout the home are finished with Venetian plaster, hand-waxed to achieve a soft, luminous glow. This artisanal touch enhances the depth and texture of the interiors, providing a warm and luxurious backdrop that elevates the overall aesthetic.

Outdoor Living: Maximizing Privacy with Lush Landscaping

Given the home’s compact lot size, the exterior design was thoughtfully curated to provide a sense of seclusion while maintaining an intimate connection with nature. Mueller Design incorporated dense foliage and mature landscaping in both the front and side yards, creating a verdant sanctuary that ensures privacy and enhances curb appeal.

Lush greenery, carefully positioned plantings, and tailored garden spaces bring a sense of tranquility and balance to the property, reinforcing the home’s Spanish-inspired charm while serving as a natural extension of the interior spaces.

Sustainable & Smart Design Integration

In keeping with Mueller Design’s commitment to sustainability, Del Valle was designed with eco-conscious elements that enhance both comfort and efficiency:

  • Energy-Efficient Lighting – Integrated LED solutions to reduce energy consumption.

  • Smart Home Technology – Automated climate control and security systems for modern convenience.

  • Water-Efficient Landscaping – Drought-resistant plants and drip irrigation systems to maintain a lush yet low-maintenance outdoor environment.
