The Carpinteria Foothills Residence

Completed in 2010, Carpinteria Foothills Residence is a luxurious house located in a small seaside city called Carpinteria, in Santa Barbara County, California, USA. 

It would have been a pity not to take advantage of the beautiful surroundings, and so the designers at Neumann Mendro Andrulaitis Architects chose to open the home towards the amazing coastal ridge-top site using operable glazed walls. The cut native sandstone walls perfectly integrate the building into the surrounding area.

The residence includes a guest room, a master suite, a study, an open living space, and a contained den. The pool, pool house and guesthouse are located on a lower terrace, among the oaks. The architects followed the owners’ ideas too, and created a tranquil and comfortable home for art, retreat and living.
