French Modern House in Calabasas

We recently finished a house in Calabasas California that was in the French style with a modern twist. The great thing about French style is how it incorporates the traditional and new style to create an elegant and chic home. Here is how we incorporated old and new into this French Modern house design.

French Style Architecture

First, the French architecture of this home is seen in the high-pitched roofs, brick finish, and multi-paned windows. The architecture’s traditional features are charming and elegant. This style of architecture works seamlessly into the green lush landscape that it was built on. Our goal for this home was to make it feel as if you were visiting the French countryside.

French Style Interior

Starting with the kitchen we went with a black and white aesthetic. The black and white bring the chic and classic feeling to space. Additionally, the French style always needs a chandelier for lighting. We chose this elegant chandelier to be the focal point of the space. Next to the home office space, we chose to use a toile print wallpaper. Toile is essential to the French interior aesthetic. The black and white toile wallpaper present a classic and traditional style.

French Gardens

Since this home is located in Southern California it was important to have functional outdoor living spaces. The weather stays fairly warm all year round. To keep the French and traditional style throughout the landscape we incorporated the brick, limestone pillars, and geometric shrubbery. The grass courtyard areas around the house are meant to feel like a classic French garden.

The True Value of In-House Design-Build: A Perspective from Arizona’s Top Luxury Builder

By Angelo Fratantoni • September 3, 2026

The process of building a custom legacy estate is often romanticized, yet for the discerning investor, it remains a serious financial undertaking. Many individuals embark on creating a custom home anticipating an inspiring journey, only to find themselves managing fragmented teams, conflicting schedules, and escalating budgets. The industry standard approach relies on assembling a disparate team of architects, builders, and designers, often from entirely different firms. While this method can produce beautiful results, it inherently introduces friction. At Fratantoni Luxury Estates, our philosophy diverges from this fractured model. We recognize that true luxury is not merely found in the final aesthetic, but in the precision, efficiency, and seamless execution of the entire endeavor. By unifying the core disciplines under one roof, we provide our clientele with a streamlined, financially sound path to realizing their vision. This integrated approach is not just a matter of convenience; it is a strategic advantage that fundamentally alters the financial trajectory of a custom build.
