TRADITIONAL HOME ON THE RIVIERA OF SANTA BARBARA

SPANISH REVIVAL RESIDENCE

Nestled on the picturesque "Riviera" hillside in Santa Barbara, this residence captures the essence of Spanish Revival style while offering breathtaking panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Its design is a harmonious blend of Moorish and Andalusian elements, reflecting the rich architectural heritage of Santa Barbara. From the spiraling columns that stand as a testament to old-world craftsmanship to the tranquil water garden that adds a soothing touch of serenity, every feature of this home is thoughtfully curated to provide a sense of timeless elegance. The intricate Moorish stone carvings and exquisitely handcrafted woodwork that adorn the interiors further elevate the aesthetic appeal, highlighting the meticulous attention to detail. Distinctive red roof tiles, a hallmark of Santa Barbara’s traditional style, crown the structure, reinforcing the warm and inviting ambiance that radiates from the property.

The restoration and renovation of this architectural gem were skillfully managed by AB Design Studio, Inc., whose expertise ensured the preservation of the residence’s historical essence. Their sensitive approach to renovation involved integrating modern touches while celebrating the hallmark Moorish design features that define the area’s unique charm. A key element of their work was the introduction of a new landscaping plan that seamlessly ties the property to its surroundings. This effort not only rejuvenated the outdoor spaces but also paid homage to the residence’s storied past, successfully merging contemporary functionality with the timeless traditions of Santa Barbara architecture.
