Santa Barbara, CA
This modest gatehouse stands quiet sentinel atop a base of rusticated Santa Barbara sandstone. Enhanced by the basic geometry of Art & Crafts inspired trim detailing, the creamy stucco and stained fir exterior provides a muted complement to the main house and surrounding landscape. A perimeter wall of matching sandstone serves to join the house with an entry gate made of old growth Chinese teak–-providing a subtle, but substantial approach to the estate.
