The kitchen below was remodeled that the owner had dreamed of for years. She wanted a material that had character but would not cause too much contrast to her backsplash. Ancient Elements Stoneworks was able to help the client find a beautiful material called Normandy. This material not only pulled in the colors from the cabinets and tile but also played off the landscape that surrounds this gorgeous property. The kitchen island also has a unique shape to it. To create more walking area Ancient Elements Stoneworks, help the client and contractor come up with the design of the arch in the corner. Giving this kitchen some extra character while being functional.

The Tice Residences replace a run-down and aging duplex with two separate, modern, Santa Barbara homes. Although the unique creek-side site (which the client’s original home looked toward across a small ravine) proposed significant challenges, the clients were certain they wanted to live on the lush “Riviera” hillside. The challenges presented were ultimately overcome through a thorough and careful study of site conditions. With an extremely efficient use of space and strategic placement of windows and decks, privacy is maintained while affording expansive views from each home to the creek, downtown Santa Barbara and Pacific Ocean beyond. Both homes appear to have far more openness than their compact lots afford. The solution strikes a balance between enclosure and openness. Walls and landscape elements divide and protect two private domains, and are in turn, carefully penetrated to reveal views. Both homes are variations on one consistent theme: elegant composition of contemporary, “warm” materials; strong roof planes punctuated by vertical masses; and floating decks. The project forms an intimate connection with its setting by using site-excavated stone, terracing landscape planters with native plantings, and utilizing the shade provided by its ancient Riviera Oak trees. 2012 AIA Santa Barbara Chapter Merit Award Jim Bartsch Photography
