This Santa Barbara hacienda’s landscape is rich in local sandstone quarried on site or just 2 miles away, utilizing rockscapes to establish permeable pathways for water intake, drainage points, and overflow. The home has a defensible space perimeter of native succulents for fire hardening without compromising a bold entryway. The home leads to a stone edible garden, an outdoor dining space surrounded by medicinal & native plants and an orchard. Fountains that connect to the creek & riparian zone create resource pockets for wildlife when the ephemeral creek is dry and create noise reduction from the road. We specified a permeable form of DG on all pathways which increases drainage and decellerates water on slopes, as well as increases LEED ratings. Various hidden nooks invite walking, and views of the Los Padres mountains can be seen behind native oaks.
