SUBMISSION
------------
Nestled atop a serene knoll, our architectural vision departs from the conventional pursuit of distant vistas. Instead, we endeavor to craft a dwelling that cherishes the essence of an internal sanctuary, where both tranquility and lively gatherings find their place.
At the heart of this dwelling, a central courtyard, resplendent with spa-like retreat spaces, beckons residents to unwind, forging an intimate connection with nature. Here, one can escape into the verdant embrace of their surroundings, a haven of reprieve.
Venturing below to the guest entry, a curated garden awaits, bathed in the gentle caress of natural light. The abundance of vegetation in this space brings a fresh breath of life indoors, blurring the boundaries between exterior and interior.
In a striking contrast to the primary residence, the rear of the property unfolds with an array of inviting features. Guest quarters beckon visitors, while an equestrian stable stands as a testament to grandeur. These elements coalesce to create an ideal setting for convivial entertaining, underpinned by breathtaking views that stretch to the Santa Barbara mountains, invoking a sense of wonder and delight in all who enter. This dwelling serves not only as a sanctuary of inner peace but also as a stage for vibrant gatherings, where every corner unveils new perspectives and promises unforgettable moments.
