Contemporary Homes
The Miramonte Highlands project started out as a steep valley between two major streets that had been used for a sand borrow pit for local construction. The site was over-grown with Eucalyptus trees and generally a difficult site. The developer had a vision for seven custom homes that could be developed on on the site so the challenge was accepted. To convert the valley to a livable cul-de-sac there was much grading and importing of soil for the street and foundations. Each house foundation is supported by 50' to 60' deep concrete caissons to prevent settlement. The houses are wood framed with stucco walls and tile roofs.
