Montecito

Described by Architectural Record in 2011 as "one of the six most beautiful houses in the world"! Iconic architect Barton Myers, designed this extraordinary steel and glass home, to respect, protect and become one with the beautiful, natural setting. And, inspired by the California climate, to elevate the art of indoor-outdoor living. The industrial aesthetic throughout, is softened by the light, landscaping, custom cabinetry and muted palette. The rooms are divided into two parallel wings, linked by a glass passage, in a brilliant arrangement to separate public and private spaces. In the main wing, a spectacular great-room, with soaring 16 feet high ceiling and custom Bulthaup kitchen, completely opens to an expansive terrace, through Myers' ingenious, glass walls, that, at the touch of a button, roll up out of sight. This seamless transition from inside out, day into night, is truly magical!

The private wing, with serene, Japanese-style courtyard, has clerestory windows to capture the light, and frame the magnificent views in every direction, from the surrounding scenery to the spectacular mountains beyond.

Every interior space connects to the outdoors! European-style, gravel pathways, defined by clipped buxus hedges, meander through a series of painterly, drought-tolerant garden 'rooms', and lead to a stunning 50' ozonated, lap pool at one end of the grounds, and luxurious, secluded guesthouse, at the other end.
