Santa Barbara Foothills, Modern, New Construction, Mountain Drive Residence

Santa Barbara, California. New 2,500 square foot house for a couple who lost their home in the Tea Fire. The house has no ignitable material on the exterior, and the landscaping is fire-safe. All electric energy use is offset by onsite solar photovoltaics, and the house features a radiant-heated floor, summer shading, cross ventilation and ceiling fans for cooling. Abundant daylighting and skylights. LED lighting, natural clay interior wall finish and a 5,000-gallon rainwater cistern for landscape irrigation.
