Year built: 2023 The Retreat: The first house on the row, an understated, calming retreat designed for the eldest members of the tight-knit family. With soothing colors, thoughtful design, and just enough flair to provide a distinct personality, this 2600 sf home offers spaces to entertain, unwind and get artistic. The Showstopper: Created for the social butterfly of the family, this residence boasts spaces for entertaining and stealing away. An entire level of the home is dedicated to having a good time, complete with flamingo pink bar and tropical décor that blends into the exquisitely decked out pool, patio, and deck space that evokes Miami Beach. Alternatively, the home also features a fully sound-proofed music room and a private sauna and spa retreats for when the owners are ready to relax and unwind. The Work of Art: The final house on the private row belongs to Soheil, the CEO of Nakhshab Development and Design. A true craftsman, the home exudes a style and sophistication while remaining supremely functional for everyday family life. Intricate tile work, bold color schemes, and elegant wood built-ins anchor the eclectic décor that defines Nakhshab’s personal style. Outside, a large outdoor kitchen and private pool retreat offer the perfect escape after a long day spent crafting away in his home office. Together the homes work in harmony while showcasing the unique qualities each Nakhshab contributes to make NDD, Inc. a success.

The “Eucalyptus House” Year built: 2019 Neighborhood: Carmel Valley / Torrey Hills Solar and radiant heat: Radsun Cabinetry: JNilsonDesigns San Diego Urban Timber Number of Bedrooms: 3 Number of Bathrooms: 2 ½ Approximate Square Footage: 2,975 This is a new build, completed in 2019. The owner acted as the general contractor on the build. The lot is approximately 60 feet wide at its narrowest point and over 300 ft long. The house is L-shaped, just under 3000 square feet with 3 bedrooms, an office, and a loft overlooking the great room. Technically, it is a "1-story house" even though it spans 3 levels. The garage is considered the basement, not a "story". The main living space, consisting of 2600 sq. ft, is the 1-story, and the 350 sq. ft loft is considered a mezzanine, not a second story. J Walsh Construction Inc Neighborhood: Mission Beach Number of Bedrooms: 3 Number of Bathrooms: 3 ½ Approximate Square Footage: 3,000 Home is contemporary, walkable to the beach. Emphasis on warm but simple, low maintenance finishes. A note from the architect: This existing home had not been remodeled in over 30 years, and we completed the project with the new owner out-of-town.

Cara Romero is a member of the Chemehuevi Indian Tribe, and was raised between the contrasting settings of the reservation in Mojave Desert, California and the urban sprawl of Houston, Texas. Romero’s identity informs her visceral approach to representing cultural memory, collective history, and lived experience from a female Native American perspective. Romero is focused on researching historical and contemporary narratives of identity and heritage. By staging theatrical compositions infused with dramatic color, she takes on the role of storyteller, using contemporary photographic techniques to depict the modernity of Indigenous culture, illuminating Native worldviews alluding to the supernatural in everyday life. The exhibition is divided into three sections—Native California, Imagining Indigenous Futures, and Native Woman. Exhibition: April 27 - Oct. 20, 2024 Hours: 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Thursday - Sunday Visit: mopa.org/exhibition/the-artist-speaks-cara-romero/ Cara Romero Photography on Facebook / Instagram Museum of Photographic Arts at The San Diego Museum of Art on Facebook / Instagram
