Hope Ranch Residence

 

A 4-Year project that began as a concept for a permanent waterfront haven.

 

Transforming the needs of a growing family and evolving smart home technology meant a shifting design that was flexible but functional. From the basement level to the second story terrace: all spaces are interconnected, weaving in and out of a tapestry of views of Santa Barbara's coast.

 

Altogether, a careful blend of contemporary stone, stucco, and Santa Barbara sandstone brings this home to life.

Located in Santa Barbara, California, the view offers mountains to the East and the water to the West. This helped orient the residence so that the views were maximized.

Aside from the main house is the cabana and an ADU/Garage, located on opposite ends of the site. This makes the 20,000 square foot home a campus within a 5 acre site, with a horse ranch and path that leads down to the water.
