Located in Coronado, CA  •  Web ID: AFHQ
Richard Requa's extravagant expression of Mediterranean architecture. A residence designed to integrate Southern California's climate and lifestyle. Distinctive white stucco, heavily tiled roof and wrought iron ornamentation complement the 8,389 square foot lot. Built 1915. Five bedrooms, five and a half baths, 5,186 square foot floor plan. Signature front entry doors designed by Irving J. Gill, reflect the historical identity of vintage eras. Formal rooms include grand scale entry hall, living room, dining room and master suite. Superbly crafted carved woods and nine foot ceilings. Magnificent mahogany and quarter-sawn oak floors, multiple French doors, imported marble and stone cut fireplace mantels link ceilings, walls, surfaces and windows with a dignity, grace and pride indigenous of Coronado Island. Heritage balconies overlook enclosed courtyards welcoming gentle winds from the sea. A proud statement by the appointed "Master Architect" for the California International Exposition of 1935-36, Balboa Park. Proximity to the silver beaches of the Pacific Ocean and the historic Hotel Del Coronado. Requa felt Coronado was one of the most desirable beachfront cities of the world. Dubbed his "enchanted island", he relished the Mediterranean Spanish Revival Style. Historians noted that his important architecture was linked to climate, landscape and history of California. A link, also, associated with "likely places in Spain, France and Italy." Requa called his synthesis of style "Southern California Architecture." Even today, strolling along tree-lined Coronado Village neighborhoods, 1015 Alameda continues to define the island's unique identity of combining the spirit of the old seekers of the fabled El Dorado with that of the 20th Century. Irving Gill thought, "Requa's work would remain as the most expressive medium of retaining tradition, history and romance."
