Giffin & Crane Project Profile

A reimagined Spanish contemporary in Montecito.

Giffin & Crane Project Profile

To call the remodel of this traditional Spanish-style home in Montecito extensive or comprehensive or whole-house doesn’t quite capture the before-and-after look and feel. Just ask the scores of creative people who had a hand in the two-and-a-half-year project.

The adjective that pops up most: transformative.

Built in 1982, the two-story home measured roughly 3,000 square feet, with two bedrooms, three and a half baths, an office, and an attached two-car garage. As the remodel unfolded, the square footage and floorplan remained the same, yet the home emerged with modern lines and a neutral palette of color and texture throughout reimagined rooms that blend indoor-outdoor living.
