2014 winner, Santa Barbara Contractors Association’s builder awards, new residential construction over $1,500,000

We completed this estate home in 2010 with the intentions of creating a home nearest of architect George Washington Smith’s previous custom homes that have become so iconic throughout Santa Barbara. Moorish influences can be seen throughout in the tile work, archways, custom stone work and an open air pool house synonymous to the Riads of Marrakech, Morocco. This 5,000 square foot custom home has four bedrooms, four-and-a-half bathrooms, with a gourmet kitchen, a hand carved stone pizza oven, hand carved wood beams and stone work by sculptor Lon Etzel, fiber optic lighting, a climate controlled wine cellar, wrought iron metal entry doors, four balconies with sweeping ocean views, accordion doors that spill out onto the back patio with a hot tub and pool equipped with smart phone climate control capability, a bocce ball court, dry sauna, a private exterior bathroom and tropical landscaping throughout the half acre property.
