Santa Barbara


Architect Dan Weber calls the Santa Barbara climate – where “it’s never hot, it’s never cold, there are no bugs, no wind, and it never rains” – pretty much perfect.

 

 

So it stands to reason that his firm, Santa Barbara-based ANACAPA Architecture (which also has an office in Portland), makes the most of bringing together the indoors and the outside when designing homes for clients.

Weber and his team added 600 square feet to the master bedroom, with its 10-foot ceilings, and again added another set of floor-to-ceiling 90-degree Series 600 Multi-Slide Doors, these ones pocketing into the walls of the bedroom, providing a second seamless transition to the backyard.

 

“I really like the huge panes of glass and small frame profiles,” Weber says. “That’s what we’re always after. We want to be able to open up a whole wall quickly and easily and have very high level of transparency both in the open position and closed position.”
