Vista Residence: Montecito’s Mountain-Framed Wooden Retreat

Vista Residence: Montecito’s Mountain-Framed Wooden Retreat

In the picturesque hills of Montecito, California, the Vista Residence — formerly a 1970’s 2,500-square-foot (approx. 232.3 square meters) dwelling — underwent a stunning transformation by ANACAPA Architecture in 2022.

Embracing the breathtaking vistas of the Santa Ynez mountains, this revamped wooden house seamlessly merges indoor and outdoor living spaces, capturing the natural beauty of California’s famed landscapes. With an emphasis on modernity, the design champions the surrounding environment through vast glass expanses, charred cedar cladding, and strategic floor planning, all while championing a minimalist luxury aesthetic.
