Santa Barbara home designer Jeff Doubet sculpts an apple as a Spanish style window design mockup for a custom home in Santa Barbara, California.

 

A specially designed interior round window with iron grille for Casa Corazon was conceived when I sculpted this apple slice.

A spur of the moment art project, just before a meeting with the owner / builder and the independent construction artisans who would frame and plaster this architectural detail.

This is the bedroom hall where a barrel ceiling was built and the chamfered interior window was built.

Coordination with a custom glass installer and hand wrought iron worker were also part of the art project.

The completed Spanish-style round window was fitted with purple wavy art glass, and then the custom wrought iron grille was installed in front of it.

 

A Moorish lantern was custom wired into a UL-listed safe custom pendant light for this Spanish-style home being built in Santa Barbara, California.

Here, I put the final finishing touches on an original clay sculpture for the Casa Corazon Spanish Revival-style family crest, which was eventually cast in stone.

 

There are 20 symbolic elements that were sculpted in to this crest.

Each represent unique aspects of the property, owner/builder and artist/designer that created it.

 

In the background you can see the paper design concept I had sketched (and had approved by the owner) before I started to carve the clay.
