Private Homes of Santa Barbara: The Visionaries & Creators

Private Homes of Santa Barbara is an invitation into twelve distinctive homes in Santa Barbara’s exclusive neighborhoods. Explore the gorgeous architecture and luxurious interiors of majestic estates, historical renovations, intimate sanctuaries, and mountain retreats, spanning styles from sublime and grand to bold and modern. What makes these individual environments extraordinary is what they share: a thoughtful response to the unique character and architecture of each site and the larger environmental context of the American Riviera. Private Homes of Santa Barbara is a perfect companion volume to Private Gardens of Santa Barbara (Gibbs Smith, 2020) with a similar trim size, cover treatment, and layout.

Each project includes commentary by the featured architects, interior designers, landscape designers, and builders, along with behind-the-scenes stories from Lepere’s photo shoots. The book presents a range of perspectives, giving voice to the challenges and collaborations involved in creating extraordinary homes, offering readers inspiration, insider insight, and an intimate view of Santa Barbara’s most remarkable residences.
