The design objective for this six acre ocean view parcel in Montecito was to create a literal replication of an 1800's California hacienda. Four adobe structures define the central courtyard while secondary terraces and walled gardens expand the living areas towards the views and morning light. Simple, rustic details and traditional, handmade materials evoke a lifestyle of a distant era.

This collaboration with Don Looney architect, incorporated the design build company from start to finish, RSF rubble stone in courtyard, succulents, a large old Oak tree was imported and the Lilian rice architecture was renovated and updated.
