Terra Bella

Design-build kitchen, bath, primary-suite, and whole-home remodeling for Terra Bella homes in Westlake. Acreage lots with newer custom builds and Westlake's most thorough architectural review, which we consider a feature.

Home vintages
Newer custom construction on acreage lots, with an architectural review process among the most thorough in Westlake.
Typical scope
Kitchens, primary suites, and additions on newer, already-strong architecture — the design conversation in Terra Bella is usually about refinement and expansion rather than correcting a dated foundation.

Why Terra Bella’s strict ARB is a feature, not a hurdle.

Terra Bella carries one of the most thorough architectural review processes in Westlake — which is exactly why the neighborhood’s streetscape holds together as well as it does. We’ve submitted enough Terra Bella packages to know what earns a first-round approval, and we treat that rigor as part of what makes the community worth building in.

The two projects we build most in Terra Bella.

The addition on newer architecture.

Terra Bella’s newer custom builds mean an addition has to match an already-current design vocabulary, not correct a dated one — a different, more exacting kind of matching. Budget: $305,000-$550,000 for a primary suite addition.

The refined kitchen.

Elevating an already-strong kitchen rather than overhauling a dated one — refined stone selection, layout optimization, a considered lighting layer. Budget: $200,000-$475,000.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work in Terra Bella?
Yes — Terra Bella is one of our Westlake neighborhoods, and we know its architectural review process well. We've built kitchens and primary suites here since expanding into Westlake.
What does a remodel cost in Terra Bella?
As of 2026, Westlake bands apply: kitchen remodels $200,000-$475,000, primary suite additions $305,000-$550,000, whole-home renovations $800,000-$2M+. Westlake runs 10-15% above the corridor baseline, driven by lot complexity, ARB thoroughness, and the estate-grade finish spec these homes deserve.
Is Terra Bella's ARB process really stricter than the rest of Westlake?
It has a reputation for being especially thorough, and we treat that as a feature rather than a hurdle — a strict ARB is one of the reasons Terra Bella's streetscape holds together as well as it does. We draft the complete submission (elevations, site plan, materials board matched to subdivision standards) and expect a 5-8 week cycle.
Why do Terra Bella remodels focus on refinement rather than overhaul?
The community's newer custom construction means most homes arrive already close to current design expectations. Our work here tends to be about elevating an already-strong foundation — refined material selections, layout optimization, a well-sited addition — rather than correcting a dated interior.
Do you provide 3D renderings, or do I need to bring my own drawings?
Yes — every Swanson estimate includes 3D renderings of your project as part of the design phase, so you can see the finished space before a single wall comes down. If you're working with a designer who needs an extra hand, we also draft floor plans and renderings in-house. If you don't have a designer yet, we can develop the drawings ourselves or introduce you to one we trust.
