CASA
GRANADA
Spanish
Heritage
It is said that when a Spanish Granadiño commissioned a
house he would instruct his architect to build a grand Patio
and, if there was space afterwards, the rest of the lodgings.
Over centuries, hispanic households have been characterized by this proverbial Patio, the Corazon de la Casa, which
blends indoor and outdoor living spaces. The indoor courtyard opens the home to the sun and creates soothing wind
currents perfect for indulging in long meals and endless
conversations. Unlike the structure of other courtyards and
balconies, the central Spanish Patio is a livable space specifically made for meals and memories. Thus, it is only fitting that Casa Granada a home perched on Californian soil
rich with Spanish history and an outdoor lifestyle- follows
this age-old tradition with an open floor plan.
The Patio was born in the fusion of Spanish and Islamic architecture during the eight centuries of Muslim rule in the
Spanish Peninsula. In 1492 AC the iconic Reyes Catolicos,
Isabel de Castilla and Fernando de Aragon, ran the last
Alhambra Palace, Granada, Spain, 1000 AD
Muslims out of Spain as they conquered Granada; yet, Islamic heritage lingered in the gastronomic, linguistic and
cultural tradition of many Spaniards.
The Palace of Granada, better known as the Alhambra, is a
complex fortress originally built in 889 AC and reconstructed by the Moorish emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the
Emirate of Granada in the thirteenth century. The archetypal
Palace encloses countless Patios including the 140-foot by
74-foot Patio de los Arrayanes (Court of Myrtles) and the
116-foot by 66-foot Patio de los Leones (Court of the Lions).
Much like Casa Granada, the former Patio is set at the entrance of the Palace, welcoming visitors with an open, bright
space that boasts a stunning pool. Similarly, all of the rooms
in the Casa Real (Moorish Palace) open to a central interior
courtyard.
The miscegenation of Islamic and Spanish architecture is
most evident in the Palacio de la Condesa de Lebrija, a sixteenth century mansion in Seville remodeled by the Countess of Lebrija in the beginning of the twentieth century. This
stunning household has an interior central Patio that features traditional Moorish mudejar styled arches combined
with Spanish Triana Azulejos (tiles) from old convents.
Much of the inspiration for Casa Granada` comes from these
breathtaking Spanish Palaces. The Developers, Roberto
and Rosario Lebrija, have made it their mission to celebrate
Spanish architecture, as they both descend from Spanish
migrants.

The Madison Club
The Madison Club is the most exclusive private residential
community in La Quinta, California, offering the finest golf
and club facilities in an intimate and sophisticated setting in
the Coachella Valley; a modern interpretation of California’s
classic old-line country clubs.
Nestled between mountain ranges, which top out around
11,000 feet in elevation, the Coachella Valley is effectively
sheltered from nearly all bad weather coming off the Pacific
Ocean. As a result, The Madison Club gets approximately
350 days of sunshine per year with an average winter daytime temperature of 80 degrees, making it an ideal winter
retreat.
The excellent weather combined with its proximity to Los
Angeles have long made The Desert a vacation hot spot.
Numerous A-Listers, such as Frank Sinatra, Liberace, Cary
Grant and Bob Hope, made the desert their home and the
new generation of Hollywood continue to be frequent visitors.

The Project
Casa Granada is a single level custom home located at The Madison Club, La
Quinta, California. The project’s exterior design springs from traditional Spanish
architecture yet retains comfort with an interior transitional style.
The house is built around El Patio de Olivos (the Grand Interior Courtyard), where
colossal sliding doors connect the Terraza de Olivos (roofed north facing terrace) to the parallel southward facing Terraza de Alberca (Pool Terrace). The
translucent glass doors enclose the Great Room, Kitchen, Dining Room and Bar
and create a hybrid space perfect for both indoor and outdoor living. A great
trellis and four Old Spanish olive trees dominate this inner courtyard.
Next, a covered terrace that overlooks the Patio de Olivos invites friends and
family to lounge and laugh together with a gaming table, two sofas and a large
coffee table. In the center of the courtyard lies an exterior wood marble dinning
table for eight, covered by the grand trellis. This space also features a grand
fireplace, a fully equipped barbeque and wet bar, and a tall marble fire table.
Numerous citrus, orange trumpet trees and vines embellish and cleanse the Patio.
Flanking the other side of the house is a roofed terrace that overlooks the massive infinity pool, golf course and south and west views of the entire Santa Rosa
and San Bernardino mountains.
The garden of Casa Granada integrates with the golf course, as it’s unique location
allows it’s residents to walk a few steps into the back practice tee of the Madison
Club practice range. The house also features a private putting green.
The Home Theatre integrates to the Patio de Olivos with grand pocket doors. The
room is located on the east complex between the Master Suite and the two guest
rooms. It comes with a 75 inch 4K Television equipped with a five-speaker surround
sound system controlled by SAVANT Home Entrainment.
Both Master Suites include a grand fireplace, two sofas and a luxurious private patio facing the pool and mountains. Their Grand Bathroom includes a ceiling, side
and hand shower, a Spa equipped with air treatment and chromo therapy, his and
her toilets, Italian faucets and two separate extra large walk-in closets. Here, a private outdoor Patio with a table and two lounge sofas serves as an intimate private
retreat.
The gourmet Kitchen is characterized by top of the line appliances, two Wolf ovens
and range, sub-zero fridge and freezer, two Bosh dish washing and a top of the line
drawer microwave. All the built-inn cabinets are imported and custom-made. This
spacious area is dominated by a durable and aesthetic quartz cascade countertop.
On the right side of the kitchen we find the Bar, characterized by a grand quartz
countertop that fits eight people and equipped with an icemaker, fridge, wine cooling facilities and a SAVANT controlled TV that raises from the back bar countertop
with the touch of a button. All of this rests in front of a breathtaking glass wall wine
cellar. This room features hand made wine cabinets in a temperature and humidity
controlled environment.
On the east side, next to the gourmet kitchen, we find a hand carved dinning table
with ten master chairs and handcrafted cabinet.
The second kitchen is fully equipped with a top of the line oven, range, dishwasher
fridge and freezer. All built inn cabinets are also hand crafted and imported.
