Situated along a ridge line with magnificent mountain views in Montecito, California-based Warner Group Architects' CEO and Principal, Thiep Cung, created a modern and minimalist retreat for his clients renown for their indoor/outdoor furniture and textile designs, resulting in a one-of-a-kind resort-at-home residence made for living amidst the legendary beauty of the American Riviera in coastal Santa Barbara. Reimagined through remodeling and expansion completed in 2021, the property is defined by sensory architecture where you will immediately be transported to a place of modern sanctuary as restorative to experience as it is beautiful to see, while turning majestic mountain views into ever-changing artwork. Immerse yourself in the airy expanse and volume of 12- and 9-foot ceilings across the home where the great room, kitchen and artist's studio are framed by soaring architectural glass walls eliminating the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living. Natural light dramatically enlivens the home throughout the day accentuating both strong and subtle design details while inspiring and embracing slow living. This unique 4-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom residence of approximately 4,578 sq. ft. embodies understated elegant living with its sophisticated yet neutral color palette echoed in nature. Limestone flooring in the great room sets the stage for gatherings and entertaining. Spaciously designed gourmet kitchen opening to the pool terrace features Bulthaup b3 custom cabinetry and Miele appliances in luxurious finishes and colors elevating culinary creations to an art form. Large studio/office/ with special volume and lots of storage is one of the home's most stunning and sensational rooms in which to design your days. Experience the luxury of quietly automated shade in the primary suite, providing seamless control over natural light and privacy, alongside an opulent bathroom adorned with porcelain surround tile work, countertop-to-ceiling mirrors illustrating the home's luxurious spa-inspired ambience with lavish amenities complemented by two expansive walk-in closets and plentiful storage space. Every room benefits from a whole-home water filtration system and solar heating. For the tech savvy, two charging stations in the garage cater to electric vehicles, enhancing the convenience and eco-consciousness of modern living. A seamless Savant system ensures intuitive control across the built environment through lighting, temperature, music, entertainment, skylights, automated shades, and security cameras to optimize a highly personalized living experience. Outside, amidst heritage olive trees, the terraces and poolside atmosphere invites relaxation and outdoor entertaining, set against a backdrop of nature, blue skies, and the mountains. This residence embodies the essence and allure of open-air and indoor/outdoor living, where every detail from the thoughtful design, form, function and finishes to the serene privacy converges to create a haven of tranquility and refinement. **** Photos courtesy of Kelly Teich of Warner Group Architects and Eric Foote Photography ****
