Pueblo VIA
Santa Barbara , CA
This project redefines a way of living on the site with a total design of the space , with a relation to the original layout of the Main House while exploring the notion of using angled surface in perspective to guide the experience of movement through the home and create a natual feeling of uplift toward the sky and tree canopy.
Abstract notions of flow, and the collision of forms of light guide the organization of the two main wings of the house, grounded onto the site and bridged by the lifted roof of the central room. The design proposes to reconstruct the Main House in place, with a similar layout in a new and reshaped fire-resistant concrete shell. Integrated into the shell is a series of cascading levels of carved articulation, and lifted roof planes at various heights relative to human scale, which invite human engagement , use, and occupation. The interiors are warm and bright , lined in wood, and a series of spatial experiences connect the central room with the domestic spaces in each wing. Fractures in the roof planes and stepped interior wall heights provide multiple routes for light to permeate through the home. Carved steps lead up to a flat roof deck with panoramic views. The ‘Canyon of Light’ allows a dynamic view through the center of the structure and out to the trees beyond.
With a new ADU pavillion in the rear yard, a spa outbuilding with sauna, and a ground-up remodel and reimagination of the existing home - the volumes of perspective connect the site into an immersive and continuous grand experience of space, expanding outwards and inwards, moving though the home, intersecting and creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature. The design invites movement through the home, extending outward to the rear yard, where curated views connect back to the trees, creek, and mountains.
