The Hills of Santa Barbara

Corinne Mathern Studio as Custom Chiseled Stone Block Fire Pit at Courtyard & Custom Dining Table Top

Spread over 3,000 square feet and two levels, this midcentury inspired contemporary home reflects the ideal Santa Barbara lifestyle.  Corinne Mathern Studio created peaceful interiors for a young couple and their two Wirehaired Pointing Griffons, who moved from Dallas and fell in love with the site’s sublime views and surroundings.

The main reference that nurtured the design of this gut renovation is the Aman Hotel in Kyoto, Japan for it’s calm atmosphere.  The beauty of the landscape was calling for that inspiration.  Corinne’s team opted for an earthy palette with blue, green and yellow tones combined with raw wood, textural clay and soothing stone.  This blend of materials gave a true sense of flow and balance throughout the property.

“We created a seamless connection between the indoor spaces and the exterior areas that invite you to experience them as one and the same.”
