“Working with Shand Design was an incredible experience from start to finish. Ryan and Susan were true collaborators — thoughtful, creative, and attentive to every detail. They guided me through the design process but ultimately allowed me to lead with my own vision and bring it to life with their support. The result feels deeply personal and beautifully balanced — a reflection of their talent and care. I couldn’t have asked for better partners throughout this process.” - Steven, Shand Design Client

Perched atop a private knoll in Mission Canyon, this Spanish-style home was thoughtfully redesigned by our team to elevate its natural light, flow, and sweeping canyon views. Our updates refined the main living spaces, refreshed the chef’s kitchen, and enhanced the seamless indoor–outdoor connection that defines California living. Three en-suite bedrooms anchor the main level, with a versatile lower level offering space for guests, work, or wellness. Exterior improvements celebrate the property’s 4.6 acres, from view-filled terraces to beautifully restored pathways and garden moments. The result is a warm, sophisticated retreat that feels both grounded in nature and perfect for modern life.

These photos were taken in during our designing phase, which we typically do not do. You’ll see decor, art, and rugs were still being sourced. For more, go to our instagram and look at “Casa Vista” stories!
