Eco-friendly house design in Montecito

The design of the house in Montecito was planned with sustainability in mind. The property has radiant floor heating and a planted roof that helps with natural cooling. Discreet solar panels supply energy, while a cistern beneath the house collects rainwater for the low-water garden. A wooden deck, pool, and Jacuzzi create a comfortable outdoor area for warm days.
