Worldly Influence: Custom Homebuilding with Cultural Flair

Alot of people who live in Santa Barbara have been fortunate enough to explore cultures around the world. Some are inspired to such a degree that they return home deeply influenced by worldly food, art, dress, music, and architecture. It takes a special combination of hand and eye to pull off a custom home that brings in an outside style but at the same time fits the feel of that certain Santa Barbara aesthetic found between the mountains and the sea. Over the decades, Giffin & Crane has been fortunate enough to team up with homeowners and architects to make it happen. Here are a few of our favorites.

OF THE HOME

BERMUDA IN MONTECITO: Centered on the great room an emerging layout preference in 1990s high-end residential construction this all-new home unified sightlines and conversations between the open kitchen and fireside family room, with design details and color patterns reminiscent of a tropical estate. Heart pine flooring planks salvaged from a South Carolina plantation add warmth and history across 3,000 square feet, with three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Architecture by Ketzel & Goodman.

TUSCAN FARMHOUSE: Limestone fireplace surrounds, handhewn oak beams from the 1800s, and an upstairs suite highlight this four-bed, four-bath French Italian farmhouse designed by architect Chris Dentzel, with interiors by Penny Bianchi. Following building codes for foothill neighborhoods prone to wildfire, the home also features sprinklers and tempered glass. Poolside landscape design by Katie O’Reilly Rogers.

CONTEMPORARY ASIAN

CRAFTSMAN: With close direction from his client, architect Donald Peterson blended Asian themes with the layout, color palette, and intricate workmanship classic to the American Craftsman style. Built on expansive soil on a steep parcel with a view of the city’s waterfront this all-new foothill home is protected and reinforced by tall retaining walls and a deep foundation. It features four bedrooms, fourand-a-half baths, open living spaces, and interior ambiance informed by the natural stone exterior.

Giffin & Crane General Contractors, Inc. has been building custom homes in Santa Barbara since 1986.

Exceptional investment opportunity in a central Santa Barbara location! Unlike other multifamily properties, this duplex truly suits an owner-user looking to live in one + rent the other. The charming 1915 built main house still has many period features, while also showcasing more modern finishes with the addition of a true primary suite, both bathrooms remodeled, and a tastefully remodeled kitchen. In 2017 the 3 car garage was built with a chic 1 bed/1 bath secondary dwelling above. An owner user could easily occupy either of the homes while renting out the other, or use as a valuable in-law/guest house. This versatile property also makes an incredible investment opportunity for 1031 investors (excellent tenant history).The R-3 zoning of the lot allows for potential future development.

S.B. Zoo Celebrates with Sparkle & Shine Zoofari Ball

On August 26, 800 supporters donned sparkly and shiny outfits for the annual Zoofari Ball in celebration of the Santa Barbara Zoo’s 60th anniversary. The wildly popular, grand fundraiser raised about $650,000 for the Zoo’s operations. Several months of work by Tyler Speier Events, the Zoo’s Megan Nuss, and a 50-plus-member event committee created this extravaganza.

Upon arrival, guests were offered a sparkling beverage with a disco ball swizzle stick to sip as they strolled the walkway to the scenic hilltop for a delightful two-hour reception. Gourmet food stations lined the perimeter, while silent auction items beckoned in the center. For dinner, guests adjourned a bit higher up, where they were seated al fresco.

With a ’70s disco-inspired Sparkle & Shine theme, tables were covered with sparkly linens and topped with table numbers sporting animal silhouettes. In a nod to the Zoo’s work with monarch butterfly conservation, potted trees embedded with butterfly silhouettes were positioned among the tables. There was a tasty buffet dinner, a short program, and dancing to music by The Collective Music Group.

Fundraising events are critical for the nonprofit Zoo’s operations, with contributions and special events accounting for 14 percent of operating revenue this year. Myriad capital projects over the years demand additional fundraising efforts.

In an interview, Board President Derek Shue shared his excitement for the Zoo’s planned collaboration with California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI) that will create a Zoo-owned and managed conservation center on the CSUCI campus. Announced last spring, the plan addresses

the Zoo’s need for space to expand its wildlife conservation efforts. Threatened and endangered species currently housed by the Zoo include western snowy plovers, California red-legged frogs, California condors, and western pond turtles.

The Zoo will shift the majority of its conservation activities to the new center. The partnership will give students and faculty hands-on opportunities with wildlife conservation and research and offer many other benefits to both the S.B. Zoo and the University.

Shue related that “by working together, we will be able to not only increase the capability and reach of our conservation program and have the room we need to take care of the at-risk populations in our area, but also form a strong bond with other departments at the university that will aid in other departments around the Zoo.”

Upcoming events at the Zoo include the six-night Halloween-inspired Boo at the Zoo event in late October and Zoolights!, featuring thousands of lanterns illuminating animal and nature scenes starting November 15.

Since COVID shuttered its extensive volunteer program, the Zoo has been slowly bringing back longtime volunteers but is still at less than half the level it had been before COVID and welcomes new volunteers.

The Santa Barbara Zoo has more than 500 animals representing 146 species residing on 30 lush acres. More than 492,000 visitors came last year, up from a 2019 level of almost 433,000.

Reservations are required for admission. Very reasonably priced memberships offer lots of benefits.
