Jeff Shelton is my favorite moorish/spanish colonial revival style architect… BY FAR! He makes FUN buildings. Take Gaudi’s assistant Josep Maria Jujol, mix with Dr. Seuss, toss in a bit of MC Escher… and then stir in a bunch of tile… more than a bunch actually. I think Jeff must have some sort of back door arrangement with a a mexican encaustic tile factory somewhere.
Dig around on his site… you will love it… I guarantee it!

This is an often overlooked house in downtown San Luis Obispo. I haven’t seen many houses in CA of this style but it would sure be fun to build one. The rafters are probably cut from 2×12’s or 2×16’s in order to get those extreme curves.
