Hope Ranch Redux 

This complete transformation of a 1950’s era historical ranch residence in the foothills near Santa Barbara represents an aesthetic design revival of the original site compound and structures. The bones of the original building were solid, but a complete refresh of the exterior and interior was in tall order. A new landscape plan along with a complete hardscape upgrade including a new pool, patio, fire pits, and retaining walls as planters was thoughtfully designed by CJM::LA Landscape Architects. The interiors of the project were reconfigured and designed to complement the client’s Southern California indoor/outdoor lifestyle by Rachael Goddard Design Studio.  A new Barn Structure was added to the site to accommodate a two car Garage and Pool House room that opens directly onto the patio and landscape gardens behind. The re-construction and renovation of the entire property and home was artfully coordinated by Steve Litchfield of Litchfield Builders.

We have worked with DMHA and Michael Holliday for the last three years on our extensive home remodel in Santa Barbara. The house turned out beautifully, which is a due in no small part to DMHA’s diligent work and problem-solving approach to architectural puzzles.
