The design objective for this six acre ocean view parcel in Montecito was to create a literal replication of an 1800's California hacienda. Four adobe structures define the central courtyard while secondary terraces and walled gardens expand the living areas towards the views and morning light. Simple, rustic details and traditional, handmade materials evoke a lifestyle of a distant era.

A charming beach house porch offers family and friends a comfortable place to socialize while being cooled by ceiling fans. The exterior of this mid-century house needed to remain in sync with the neighborhood after its transformation from a dark, outdated space to a bright, contemporary haven with retro flair.

The New Traditional

Blue Heron Signature Homes

The inspiration behind the Farmhouse design began in an attempt to blend a mix of vintage farm style with classic and rustic salvaged warmth, together with modern and clean lined design elements. This balance was a conscious effort throughout the design of this home. Designed and built by Terramor Homes in Raleigh, NC. Photography: M. Eric Honeycutt

Blue Hour

Ann Lowengart Interiors

The "blue hour" is that magical time of day when sunlight scatters and the sky becomes a deep shade of blue. For this Mediterranean-style Sea Cliff home from the 1920s, we took our design inspiration from the twilight period that inspired artists and photographers. The living room features moody blues and neutral shades on the main floor. We selected contemporary furnishings and modern art for this active family of five. Upstairs are the bedrooms and a home office, while downstairs, a media room, and wine cellar provide a place for adults and young children to relax and play.

We installed James Hardie ColorPlus HardiePlank lap siding in Monterey Taupe, staggered edge HardieShingle shake siding in Evening Blue, and Arctic White HardieTrim. The soffits and fascia are also Arctic White, which the porch ceiling is Monterey Taupe.
