This residential project is a thoughtfully designed single-family home created specifically for two adults and one child, deeply rooted in the cultural and geographical context of Santa Barbara. The design merges the traditional Spanish Revival architectural style, widely recognized in the region, with modern elements, creating a home that honors the past while offering contemporary comforts. The facade of the home is a blend of traditional materials like stucco with intricate tile work that adds both texture and color, enhancing the visual appeal. The use of organic curves and shapes on the facade reflects the natural forms found in the surrounding landscape. A rounded arch door serves as a welcoming entryway, a hallmark of the Spanish Revival style, accentuated by artistic tile work that highlights the cultural influences embedded in the design. A tower-like structure on the facade acts as a focal point, adorned with detailed mosaic tiles that break the monotony and add to the building's visual interest.
Culturally and geographically, the design is a contemporary interpretation of the architectural identity that is central to Santa Barbara. The use of local materials, color palette and material selection, dominated by earth tones, terracotta, and natural stone, ensure that the home blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape, rather than standing out as an intrusive structure.
