SANTA BARBARA / SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL Situated on Santa Barbara’s upper east side, this Mediterranean Casita is neighbor to the lovely Santa Barbara Mission Rose Garden. Originally constructed in 1925, and designed by noted Santa Barbara architect Mary Osborne Craig, this beautiful historic residence was delicately remodeled in 2009. The new additions match the quiet asymmetrical massing of the original layout, and all new details carefully replicate the unique craftsmanship of the 1920’s. The final result is a modernized home that blends beautifully into the heart of Santa Barbara’s historic district.

We remodeled this 5,400-square foot, 3-story home on ’s Second Street to give it a more current feel, with cleaner lines and textures. The result is more and less Old World Europe, which is exactly what we were going for. We worked with much of the client’s existing furniture, which has a southern flavor, compliments of its former South Carolina home. This was an additional challenge, because we had to integrate a variety of influences in an intentional and cohesive way. We painted nearly every surface white in the 5-bed, 6-bath home, and added light-colored window treatments, which brightened and opened the space. Additionally, we replaced all the light fixtures for a more integrated aesthetic. Well-selected accessories help pull the space together, infusing a consistent sense of peace and comfort.

This kitchen underwent quite a transformation. The cabinets ended where the uppers begin. We tore out the upper soffits and added the uppers with glass and lighting, which dramatically made the kitchen look larger. The cabinetry finish was also changed from espresso to white, to create an airy feeling. The artistic lines in the backsplash and waterfall island transition well with the rest of the artistic vibe of the home. Perhaps the crowning touch are the chandeliers, one of which is of large chunks of agate stone that shimmer with the light on.
