"Embraces the View, flows with the Hill"
This highly improvised Spanish Colonial home on Loma Media Road, Santa Barbara, is on a steep 1.3 acre hillside site, with ocean and city views. Each part of the home is angled to access a different view, and broken to create alternating open spaces, and a variety of different living environments. The center of the home has a two story space suggesting a Mediterranean streetscape, an open curved mezzanine and intricate cross-work of large beams at a skylit central peak.
