Adhering to a modest budget, the remodel breathes new life into the existing footprint, reorienting the interior to center around convivial spaces, with a material palette echoing the understated elegance of the natural surroundings.  Embracing the Santa Ynez Mountains, the Vista House envelopes thoughtful architectural synthesis of understated exterior form and materials in deference to the surrounding nature.

Drawing inspiration from the traditional hip-roofed homes of the region, the exterior design showcases a sleek yet functional aesthetic, with charred wood cladding serving as a durable shield against the elements, destined to age gracefully over time.

In stark contrast to the exterior's darker hues, interior spaces prioritize seamlessly integrating with the surrounding environment. Expansive northern glass facades frame majestic mountain vistas, infusing the living areas with grandeur and tranquility. Here, simplicity meets functionality, crafting a residence that provides solace and serves as a canvas for the breathtaking natural beauty that envelops it.
