Mid-sized industrial green two-story stucco house exterior idea in Orange County

The master bedroom of the Needham house continues the theme of tastefully discreet by keeping the electronics out of sight. Automated lighting, shade and energy management can all be controlled from a smart phone or tablet.

Discreetly captivating in a bold crystal fog finish, this inset shaker kitchen is stunning and welcoming. The Praa Sands quartz counters provide both contrast and accord with turquoise accents that complement the subtle earth tones in the hardwood floor and tile backsplash. The high ceilings provide for mullion glass door displays and extra storage

Situated on a 3.5 acre, oak-studded ridge atop Santa Barbara's Riviera, the Greene Compound is a 6,500 square foot custom residence with guest house and pool capturing spectacular views of the City, Coastal Islands to the south, and La Cumbre peak to the north. Carefully sited to kiss the tips of many existing large oaks, the home is rustic Mediterranean in style which blends integral color plaster walls with Santa Barbara sandstone and cedar board and batt. Landscape Architect Lane Goodkind restored the native grass meadow and added a stream bio-swale which complements the rural setting. 20' mahogany, pocketing sliding doors maximize the indoor / outdoor Santa Barbara lifestyle by opening the living spaces to the pool and island view beyond. A monumental exterior fireplace and camp-style margarita bar add to this romantic living. Discreetly buried in the mission tile roof, solar panels help to offset the home's overall energy consumption. Truly an amazing and unique property, the Greene Residence blends in beautifully with the pastoral setting of the ridge while complementing and enhancing this Riviera neighborhood.
