Hillside cottage in Summerland, CA with discreet home technology overlooking the Pacific
Summerland, CA

Technology Tucked Into A Hillside Village.

Perched above the coast between Santa Barbara and Montecito, Summerland's stacked cottages and ridge-top estates call for technology that's as unobtrusive as the village itself.

Summerland, CA

Designed For A Village Built On A Hillside.

Summerland is barely a mile across, and it shows in how the town is built: small historic cottages, many dating to the town's founding as a nineteenth-century spiritualist colony, stacked tightly along Lillie Avenue's antique shops and cafés and up the hillside behind them. Nearly every lot has an ocean view, and almost none of them has room to spare. That combination calls for compact, low-profile installs — in-ceiling and in-wall audio, hidden network hardware, wiring routed through walls that are often a century old — so a small cottage gains modern technology without losing the character that makes it worth living in.

Above the village, the streets climb toward Ortega Hill and Ortega Ridge, where larger homes look west over the rooftops below toward the Pacific and the Channel Islands. These properties deal with a different problem: hours of direct afternoon sun and glare across floor-to-ceiling glass. We build automated shading and lighting that manage that exposure through the day, along with outdoor living and audio systems that take full advantage of the view from a terrace or pool deck near Lookout Park without adding visible hardware to a roofline everyone below can see.

Ortega Hill & The Ridge

Where Every Room Frames The Channel.

The ridge above the village holds some of Summerland's most dramatic view homes, with sightlines stretching across the Pacific to the Channel Islands. We build retractable displays, architectural audio recessed into eaves and soffits, and shading that responds to the sun automatically — so the technology steps back and the view stays the reason you bought the house.
