Love Home. Live Inspired.

Design your Classica custom home to fit your ideal lifestyle. For many homebuyers, a luxury home centers around entertaining: big kitchens for easy cooking, beautiful windows that let in plenty of natural light and unique views of the outdoors, and well-designed outdoor spaces for recreation, outdoor meals, and cozy conversation around a fire. At Classica Homes, we specialize in luxury designs and floor plans that can make your home the go-to destination for family meals, friendly get-togethers, and big celebrations. Here are some must-have elements for the perfect space.

Home for Entertaining

When you think about how to design a home for entertaining, start by imagining your perfect event. As people walk in, is there enough room for shoes and coats without crowding? Can people easily move through the home to the kitchen or dining room? Is there enough space for everyone? 

You can use this imagination exercise to picture many different types of events. For example, summer get-togethers and backyard barbecues work best when there's a clear indoor-outdoor transition, like wide double doors opening up to a backyard patio. If you're hosting a casual evening indoors, you want a downstairs guest bathroom that's easy to find but not immediately adjacent to the main room.

Also, you may want a multipurpose home: a home with plenty of space and organization for your family, perhaps a fully contained home office, and entertainment options for day and night. Then, you may want a separation between the main living room and kitchen area and any bedrooms to help manage noise and bedtimes. 

Open-Concept Floor Plans

Open-concept floor plans have been a big trend for years—and for good reason. They offer several advantages in any home, from capitalizing on available square footage to making everyone feel included in the activities of the main living space. Open-concept homes benefit from more natural light, more flexibility, and more cheer. If you love entertaining, open-concept floor plans offer even more advantages: 

●        Cooking can be part of the entertainment, and the host doesn't have to be shut away in the kitchen.

●        You can invite groups of different sizes, from small dinner parties to large groups for mingling or watching movies—the space accommodates all sizes, and you can use seating more efficiently.

●        People can be part of one large group or form small clusters without missing anything. 

●        The space feels larger and airier.

●        Many open-concept homes accommodate larger kitchen islands, which are perfect for prep, buffets and potlucks, and games. 

Classica's Entertaining-Friendly Layouts

Classica's layout options accommodate easy entertaining, with big open spaces that bring the kitchen and living room together, as well as easy, airy transitions between indoor spaces and wide covered patios. You can explore our Floorplan Gallery to compare different options, find layout options you love, and picture how some of your favorite get-togethers can flow throughout your next home. We have multiple home plans that are designed by architect Dave Kosco that feature modern amenities, plenty of natural lighting, and indoor-outdoor spaces for hosting any type of event. 

Start your exploration with the Montecito Ranch Plan, a beautiful home that has a central open square of a kitchen, dining area, great room, and covered outdoor living space. Alternatively, consider the Balboa, a beautiful home with a shared kitchen, great room, and dining nook without walls that transitions into a large outdoor living space in the backyard.
