Private Homes of Santa Barbara: The Visionaries & Creators

Explore the gorgeous architecture and luxurious interiors of majestic estates, historic renovations, private sanctuaries, and mountain retreats, spanning styles from sublime and grand to bold and modern. The foreword, by Jeffrey Alan Marks, beautifully introduces the homes and the spirit of Santa Barbara. 

Each project features first-person narratives from the twenty contributing architects, interior designers, landscape architects, and builders, alongside photography and behind-the-scenes stories by author and photographer Holly Lepere. 

Lavishly illustrated, the volume showcases the work of leading Southern California architects, designers, and builders—including William Hefner, Amber Interior Design, Birgit Klein, Christina Rottman Designs, Ground Studio, House of Honey, Jeffrey Alan Marks, and others—capturing the creativity and vision behind these remarkable homes. 

A portion of the proceeds will support Amor, a nonprofit building homes for families in need. Learn more at Amor.org
