Set on 2.5 acres, this new home delicately balances aesthetics, the needs of a growing young family who loves to entertain, and the rigorous demands of FEMA and Santa Barbara County flood requirements. Nestled within a valley, its agrarian forms draw from the history and character of the land. Materials were selected to endure the seasons and resist wildfire, while the home itself is thoughtfully conceived to provide a sense of shelter and permanence as the family grows, gathers, and establishes traditions of their own.
