A glamorous residence in Carpinteria, California, shows how a talented architect can give a house a fresh, contemporary identity.
Glamorous residence with elegant living area
Santa Barbara architect Barry Berkus designed the Padaro Lane Residence with a bright, welcoming mix of modern structure and warm materials. Large panes of glass, wood surfaces, and carefully planned open spaces give the home a polished but comfortable character. The Padaro residence is a strong example of this coastal approach. Sliding glass doors connect different areas and help blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors.
Glamorous residence with stunning views
The residence offers the amenities of a relaxed modern beach house without feeling crowded. Large glass walls open the interiors to views of the ocean, garden, and courtyard, while the restrained material palette keeps the rooms calm. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are open to one another, and sunlight reaches deep into the plan through broad windows and sliding doors. Neutral colors such as brown, beige, black, and white appear throughout, creating a comfortable modern setting for everyday living.
