Plan Description

The Santa Barbara is one of six gorgeous little 400-square-foot houses in the California Collection created by The Homestead Partners. Each house has a full kitchen and bathroom, private bedroom with space for at least a queen-size bed, living/dining/kitchen that opens to an outdoor dining patio or terrace, and plenty of storage. Big enough to have a friend over. Just make sure you're in love with them first. Have your time machine plop you down wherever and whenever in Spanish California and you'll find magnificent adobe ranch houses, with or without Zorro and Sergeant Garcia. The style persisted for centuries, and then post-World War I developers transformed it into ubiquitous urban and suburban middle-class housing that still dots the southwest. Ours is both smaller and nicer than those, Spanish Colonial distilled so perfectly you'll expect Leo Carrillo to walk through the French doors from the patio with martini in hand. Interior Features 398 square feet Open living/dining room and full kitchen, with French doors opening to raised side patio, and entry door opening to raised front patio Cathedral ceilings with exposed rafters throughout Full bathroom Space for compact washer/dryer Bedroom sized for a king or queen bed, with built-in desk, storage, closet, and French doors opening to side patio Exterior Features 441 square feet Raised open-air patio at entry Raised side patio covered with open rafters Total Footprint 839 square feet

Meet the Designer

The Homestead Partners

House plans for small, big, colonial, modern, and everything in between. You may insist on having more than one. We're Ron Sakal and Sallie Hood (sakal-hood.com), a husband-and-wife team of architects who've spent decades creating workable townscapes, rescuing city centers from random development, designing beautiful houses, and teaching bright young architecture students how to do the same. Along the way, we've become experts on the styles of American houses, ideas, designs, and materials that transform small and affordable spaces into wonderful places to live. Now we're offering those great American styles to everyone who yearns for something more interesting and more connected to the American culture. Look around our collection of houses and see what moves you. After that, our firm is just like that home of yours: small and affordable.
