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.

This development, nicknamed "Trivaca", is situated on a unique triangular shaped property within the historic Lavaca neighborhood of San Antonio. It consists of four, two-story modern townhouses, designed by four individual architects that work within the Southtown neighborhood. The designs, although modern, make use of a variety of materials found throughout the area such as steel, wood, and stucco, while also maintaining a unique individual look across all four properties. Fisher Heck's design for this home is a contemporary reflection of many of the surrounding historic homes, specifically with regards to materiality and building proportion. The main level consists of the main living areas as well as a home office/guest bedroom with full bath. The living spaces all open out to a lush, private xeriscaped courtyard and modular driveway. The two upstairs bedrooms both face north with perfect views of Tower of Americas and downtown fireworks.

A home designed for the creative soul. This expansive view showcases the intentional flow from the high-end kitchen and living area directly into the back art studio. By maintaining a consistent palette of white oak and airy neutrals, we created a unified sanctuary where life and art coexist in perfect, sun-drenched harmony.

The clients for this small bathroom project are passionate art enthusiasts and asked the architects to create a space based on the work of one of their favorite abstract painters, Piet Mondrian. Mondrian was a Dutch artist associated with the De Stijl movement which reduced designs down to basic rectilinear forms and primary colors within a grid. Alloy used floor to ceiling recycled glass tiles to re-interpret Mondrian's compositions, using blocks of color in a white grid of tile to delineate space and the functions within the small room. A red block of color is recessed and becomes a niche, a blue block is a shower seat, a yellow rectangle connects shower fixtures with the drain.
The bathroom also has many aging-in-place design components which were a priority for the clients. There is a zero clearance entrance to the shower. We widened the doorway for greater accessibility and installed a pocket door to save space. ADA compliant grab bars were located to compliment the tile composition.

The original floor plan consisted of a living room, an office, the kitchen and a bathroom/laundry room. Each room was very small, so we removed most of the interior walls in these areas to open up the space. Large beams were needed in order to maintain the structural integrity, which the design team also used to add additional charm to the aesthetics of the space.

The client wanted a better flow throughout their landscape, as well as introduce straight lines to a space to modernize the irregular shaped pool.
Their upper deck was where they did a majority of their entertaining so ensuring this space was large enough for both dining and lounge was the starting point of the design. Introducing privacy from the many on looking neighbours, without completely blocking it off from the rest of their own yard was important. Laser cut privacy screens added this filtered privacy.
A round hot tub was added to the back corner of the property, which otherwise seemed like wasted space. Highlighted by the privacy panels in the same pattern used on the deck to create some consistency.
Trees were both maintained and added where needs along the property to add greenery and privacy. The entire space now feels open within the backyard, but private from neighbours.

This one was for their son's room, and it transformed the space, replacing a pair of rickety bifold doors and some shelving from a big box store with a sleek, custom solution.
For consistency and to maintain the house's aesthetic appeal, we used the same Panolam Flawless in Sapphire Blue to laminate the doors, just as in the other rooms. This not only creates a harmonious look throughout the house but also ensures that the wardrobe blends seamlessly with the overall design. The cabinetry features adjustable shelving and clothes rods, all designed to meet the specific needs of our client's son.

The courtyard promotes the theme of the overall landscape design. Being Minimalist the placement of plants and formation of both rocks and cut stones provided the balance in contrast to the space.
The Foxtail Palms compliments the structure in the background whilst the understory consists of the Yellow Hop Clover, Sansevieria, and a well maintained shrub.

Drawing inspiration from the home’s natural setting and the owners’ devotion to a cleaner environement, we chose reclaimed heart pine from one hundred year old beams for the floors, reclaimed elm for privacy areas, motorized window shades of woven grasses, fossil stone countertops, and cherry wood in clear finishes cut from the same trees. These materials were used in unique ways throughout the home to make a true model of sustainability.Integrate various materials in similar color palettes to maintain a consistent design voice while adding textual diversity.
