This beautiful property is located in the hills above of Montecito with 360 degree of views onto the Channel Islands and the surrounding mountains. Inspired by the Japanese landscape design principal of the borrowed landscape the gardens on this property serves as a kind of picture frame from which to view the natural beauty of its surroundings. This 15-year-old costume-built home was crafted with all the style and workmanship ship found in Villa or Château in the Mediterranean. Unfortunately, the garden design was not as well thought out as the house was. Most of this property receives baking sun, drying winds and is in an extremely high fire danger area. Do to these factors many of the plants on the property were unsuitable for their location. The original planting scheme was also lifeless and colorless. Poor landscape maintenance had left many of the plants on the property sick and dying. We came in to revive this landscape, breathing new life into it. Creating a drought tolerant and fire wise landscape was of utmost importance to these clients. Staying true to the more formal landscape styles found in Southern Europe we also want to create an opportunity to design seamlessly blend with its natural surroundings. We did that by incorporating a lot of California native plants. This vast property also contains an avocado orchard and a vineyard. By adding California native plants the property is inviting in native birds and insects that help keep pollinate the orchard and vineyard and keep pest problems at bay. Because these clients enjoy harvesting from their land we added elements of edible landscaping to this project. We filled pottery and planter beds with fruit trees, culinary and medicinal herbs as well as flowers that can be used in cut flower arrangements. Lastly, we went through carefully pruning diseased plants, treating pest problems an improving the soil. Now the landscape is not only more beautiful it is more protected against fire, is more water wise and integrate into its surrounds with a wholistic approach.

This unique property had a spectacular location but a dated interior with disjointed walls and crevices. Some significant steps were needed to transform the space into a clean and modern kitchen, Without a central focal point, a wall was moved to center the range, making the space a true symmetrical rectangle. The goal was to create a space that was clean and modern to compliment the breathtaking views using warm organic accents to avoid feeling sterile. The open, floating shelves with integrated LED lighting were matched to the white bleached oak used in the ceiling and floor. To allow room for the expansive windows, outlets were cut into the counters and elevate by touch. The inset shaker cabinetry is classic and simple with bronze hardware and serves as the perfect setting for the continuous, marble single slabs used for the backsplash, counters, and hood. Paneling the appliances gave the room a serene feel, with the Galley workstation and BlueStar range making it a true cook’s kitchen. The team added a soffit around the recessed ceiling with wood detailing to draw one’s attention to the custom hood. Designed by Kathy Drake Interiors, it is made from the same marble used throughout, with artful veining making a dramatic statement.

With the owners' high expectations for quality and design, Burnette Builders, in collaboration with Architect Jack Carson, AIA took on this challenging project to create one of the most meticulous homes built by the Burnette construction team. The home's design and construction expertly incorporate a blend of steel, stone, and wood. The home structure made out of red iron that was hot-dipped galvanized provided exact standards of sleek finishes and precise lines and angles. The extensive use of limestone collected from the property gives a true Hill Country Texas feel warmth by accents of Ipe wood throughout the house's exterior. The result is a well-crafted home sensitive to sustainability imbued with a tone and texture that is ageless.
