Designed for an avid car collector, El Capitola is a private home that features a museum-grade showroom housing the owner’s remarkable collection of restored custom classic cars. In addition to the architecture, all interior design was executed by the Architect, with an emphasis on leather, chrome, glass, and other materials often associated with cars and mechanics' shops. Located in Vancouver, WA, on a slope overlooking the Columbia River, El Capitola is an homage to the bravado, optimism, and grit of Jet Age car culture set within the clean and understated framework of a modern residence.
