In the University Park neighborhood just north of USC, Katherine Guevara and her husband, David Guevara Rosillo, are building a home that will subtly evoke a California Craftsman, with a pitched roof, porch posts and light ornamentation.
Inside, a burst of colors and patterns reflects the textiles and murals of Guevara Rosillo’s roots in Guayaquil, Ecuador, as well as inspirations such as Frida Kahlo’s La Casa Azul in Mexico City. Green, red, orange, blue and yellow walls and floors will be complemented by a modern Ikea kitchen and bold touches like multichrome Cirque pendant lamps by Louis Poulsen.

Fresno Bee 3/3/2021 Carmen George, The Fresno Bee
Mar. 2 Fresno has the most people per household and the highest percentage of families of large U.S. cities, according to a recent report that analyzed data from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Four other California cities made the top 10 list for fullest houses in America: Los Angeles, San Jose, Sacramento and San Diego.
When all U.S. cities were compared, not just the largest 40, a handful of other San Joaquin Valley cities ranked higher for having the highest percentage of families housing children under the age of 18. Those are: Madera (No. 2), Hanford (No. 5), Visalia (No. 6), Merced (No. 10) and Stockton (No. 12). They are followed by Fresno (No. 15), Bakersfield (No. 17) and Modesto (No. 18).
