The Homes We Work On in Montecito
Spanish Colonial Revival and Mediterranean estates on large, heavily landscaped parcels define the community, alongside traditional and contemporary homes tucked into the foothills between the mountains and the sea. Mature gardens, guest houses, and extensive grounds are typical of these properties.
Permits and Plan Check
Montecito is unincorporated, so permits are issued by Santa Barbara County — and most exterior projects also go before the Montecito Board of Architectural Review, which evaluates design compatibility with the community's semi-rural estate character. It is a thorough, multi-step process. We design for that review from the outset rather than retrofitting plans after comments.
Popular Projects in Montecito
- Full House Remodel: Estate renovations that update older Mediterranean homes without diluting their architecture are the local standard.
- Kitchen Remodel: Bespoke kitchens with imported materials anchor most estate-level renovations here.
- Custom Home / New Construction: Large parcels support ground-up estates designed through the community's architectural review.
- Backyard Remodel: Extensive grounds invite pools, loggias, gardens, and outdoor rooms at estate scale.
