Nestled in a picturesque landscape, Ardraigh stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of Spanish, Mediterranean, and Blackfoot influences. This two-story abode, with its sun-dappled stone walls and terracotta roof tiles, exudes warmth and elegance. The façade is adorned with lush greenery, with vibrant bougainvillaeas cascading over balconies and around arched wooden doors and windows. An inviting pool glistens in the courtyard, framed by terracotta tiles and potted plants, creating an oasis for relaxation and intimate gatherings.
Inside, the house reveals a seamless fusion of cultures and the personalities of its residents. The spacious living room features stained glass windows that cast a kaleidoscope of colors onto the handcrafted wooden furniture and intricate Hopi bow and arrow displays. The earthy tones of the Blackfoot décor complement the rich textures of Mediterranean pottery and Spanish tapestries, creating a space that is both luxurious and grounded in tradition. The master bedroom, with its arched windows and built-in alcove lighting, offers a serene retreat with views of the surrounding olive groves and rolling hills.
A unique feature of Ardraigh is the expansive painting studio, designed to inspire creativity and artistic expression for Omar Al-Farouq. With its high, vaulted ceilings and a grand arched window that opens to a view of the pool and distant sea, the studio is bathed in natural light. Omar spends hours here, translating his inner world onto the canvas, finding peace and inspiration in his art.
Iván Carvalho's study is another notable space, filled with books and quiet corners perfect for his writing. His works, reflecting his rich Celtic heritage and personal experiences, are often penned in the serene ambiance of this room. When not writing, Iván can be found participating in or watching sports competitions, adding a dynamic energy to the household.
Nils "BB" Māēso brings boundless energy to Ardraigh with his lavish parties and deep connection to nature. His garden, a mix of earthly plants and native flora, serves as a testament to his Indigenous heritage and ecological knowledge. It is not just a visual delight but also a meditation spot where BB finds tranquility. His presence fills the home with laughter, music, and the joyous communion of community and nature.
Ardraigh is more than just a house; it is a sanctuary for its inhabitants. Omar's serene art studio, Iván's dynamic presence, and BB's lively gatherings create a harmonious blend of creativity, reflection, and celebration. The home celebrates the diverse and harmonious essence of its residents, making it a place where creativity, exploration, and community flourish.
