Tales of a Whale

How often can you say, “I spent Sunday morning in the belly of a whale”? Well, this past Sunday morning, I did just that. The “Whale House” is an iconic Gaudi-inspired, wood-shingled, threestory home plus guest house on a private lane in Mission Canyon.

Every surface and feature of this residence is special. The exterior is covered by cedar shingles, and there’s not one right angle in the whole place. Built in 1978 by architect Michael Carmichael as his own residence, the home is impressive, fanciful, and yet still immensely livable.

One enters the house, naturally, through the whale’s mouth, which opens to an entryway like no other: an undulating spiral staircase that opens to the sky at the top of the house, a k a the blow hole. An updated kitchen with onyx counters and marble floors leads through the dining room to the living room, where a massive curvy couch that is backed by a glass wall provides a first peek down into the internal courtyard. You guessed it this is the belly of the whale.

Before venturing outside, one can either walk up the curving staircase or ride upstairs in style in the custom copper elevator. Both methods are unique, charming, and yet completely forgotten once one steps into the riveting primary bedroom. This sweeping suite is reminiscent of both a massive treehouse and the crow’s nest of a ship. Porthole windows reveal gorgeous sycamore and oak trees while maintaining complete privacy. A huge river-rock fireplace one of three in the house forms one wall, and a step-down, walk-through,

blue-tiled Jacuzzi leads to a balcony patio on the other side, with a dazzling red-tiled, rock-walled shower.

But that’s not all. The third story of the whale’s head is the penthouse bedroom suite, which includes a claw-foot tub with a treetop view.

In the outdoor internal courtyard, a 75-foot lap pool runs along one side of tropical-plant-lined walkways and inviting seating areas, then disappears into a covered grotto for an indoor-outdoor swim experience like no other. A swimup bar, a teak-lined sauna, and bamboo outdoor shower features that would be top-line attractions in most homes blend right into this tropical fantasy as simply more of the magic of the “belly of the whale.”

Beyond the grotto is a separate guest house that offers two spacious rooms plus a laundry room with a bonus sleeping loft. Wavy, narrow-beamed ceilings in the guest house continue through to the grotto, adding to the indoor-outdoor experience of the Whale House.

It was impossible not to be wowed by this magical home. As unique as it is, it blends into its surroundings and feels inviting and comfortable. I was ready to hang out on the undulating sofa, plant myself in the grotto, and make myself at home in the treehouse-like bedroom suite for as long as I could. You guessed it: I was having a whale of a time.

The house at 999 Andante Road is listed for sale in Santa Barbara by Daniel Carpenter of Sotheby’s International Realty. Reach Daniel at

meet behind the blade, they collide, producing wild and noisy turbulence. A turbine blade acts like an owl’s wing. When examining owls, they discovered a specialized fringe along the trailing edge of wing feathers that forces air to mix at specific locations, muffling the sound of the air flowing around them and enabling soundless flight.

Biomimicry Is Improving Electrical Wind Generation

For centuries, humans have harnessed the wind mainly for pumping water and milling flour. Now wind turbines are playing a key role in the clean energy transition. These big, sleek machines seem to exemplify efficiency, but they can be made even more efficient and less disruptive to their surroundings.

Biome Renewables, a Canadian company, is developing improvements by mimicking nature. They have reduced turbine noise by investigating how owls fly creatures legendary for their silent flight. As a wind turbine blade slices through air, it creates one airstream above and one below, each traveling at a different speed. When the two currents

GOING GREEN

by Dennis Allen

From their observations, Biome Renewables came up with a serratededge design for the trailing portion of a turbine blade. As air rushes around the blade, some of it curls down into the space at the base of the serrated teeth, generating one sound wave, and some of it curls down at the tips of the teeth, generating a second sound wave a moment later. The troughs of the first sound wave align with the peaks of the second, canceling each other out. Wind-tunnel tests have shown that this technology can reduce noise by 50-80 percent. Moreover, the reduction of turbulence behind the blade allows the turbine to spin slightly faster in wind of the same speed, generating more power.

To boost efficiency even more, Biome Renewables found a pattern from an entirely different realm of nature. Whirling blades create suction that pulls air

toward the middle, the hub.

The company designed a device, called a “Power Cone,” that fits onto the turbine center and smoothly channels air back onto the blades. This aerodynamic enhancement device increased turbine power output by up to 13 percent. Where did they find the inspiration? Falling maple seeds.

The lopsided weight of a maple seed causes it to spin at a certain angle, which redirects wind along the seed’s slender length, accelerating flow toward the tip. Consequently, the seeds swirl around a central point, allowing them to remain aloft longer so they can be carried farther away by the wind. Adopting these same principles to the “Power Cone” gives turbines added torque, increasing their efficiency and electrical output.

Greater output from a turbine at a given wind speed reduces the number of turbines needed to supply our energy requirements, a win for the environment beyond the reduced greenhouse gases from generating clean energy.
