Sentimental Santa Barbara

Our Santa Barbara style home lead by architect Meredith Thompson, AIA is in the current issue of Phoenix Home & Garden Magazine. Together with beautiful interiors by Earth and Images , exterior by landscape by Creative Environments and builder West Construction, this dated 4,800 sq. ft. ranch home became a beautiful Santa Barbara style stunner!!

This special home was once the current owner's childhood home/lot, so when it went up for sale she jumped on buying it and making it her forever future-family home! The house was very outdated at this point however and didn't take advantage of the amazing views, so together we decided to build a new, custom home. This allowed us to change the floor plan, update everything and angle the house to open up the views of Camelback Mountain and the downtown Phoenix skyline. Parts of the original home that the homeowner loved were kept and incorporated to the new design, such as doorknobs, lighting fixtures, and other elements that reminded her of her childhood home. For the redesign, the clients wanted a Santa Barbara style home with lots of beautiful details and courtyards that our firm is known for. The home is beautiful while also a functional family home for the next generation.
