Las Posas Estates Designer

The specialty.

Las Posas Estates sits on the ridge above Camarillo with city and ocean views. Parcels are large, lots are complex, and expectations are high. David has drawn more than 20 homes in the Estates since 1998 and knows the specific Ventura County Planning overlay that applies to this community.

How the process works.

Every Las Posas project requires a topographic survey and a view analysis. Building envelope, setbacks, and height limits are calibrated to preserve neighboring views. Coastal Commission does not apply but the county planning department pays closer attention here than in most Camarillo submittals.

Common scenarios.

Ridge line custom homes with full ocean views, multi story estates on 1 to 3 acre parcels, hillside step down homes that preserve upslope neighbor views, and major additions to existing Las Posas residences.

Frequently asked questions.

Las Posas Estates projects typically start at $75K in design fees due to the site complexity and design review layer.
