Homes I Love  /  Santa Barbara

3150 Sea Cliff.

A new coastal estate above the Pacific, where stone, warm wood and native gardens come together with quiet confidence.

Why I love it

Architecture that disappears into the landscape.

This is the kind of home I study. Board-formed concrete, oak and steel windows keep the palette simple, so the meadow, the old trees and the ocean do the talking. Every room opens to the outdoors, and the lighting at dusk turns the whole house into a lantern.

The details carry it: a sunken living room around a hanging fireplace, a pizza-oven kitchen garden, a glass greenhouse and a lap pool tucked into native grasses. It is a useful reference for anyone building or remodeling on the coast, and it shows how much good design and great photography lift a home.
