The historically inspired (new) grille was first incorporated into Spanish Revival estates and hotels of the 1920s and 30s. Today they make great conversation pieces in new Spanish-style home renovations.

The History Behind Santa Barbara Spanish-style Architectural Details

For over a century, local Santa Barbara and Montecito residents have desired classic architectural details built into their custom Spanish-style homes.

Santa Barbara soon gained a reputation for being a high quality town with wonderful Spanish architecture. Ever since, there has been new generations of trades who are excited to carry on the traditions.

There is a particular type in Santa Barbara home designers, architects and general contractors that "get it", are embrace the genre.

We have an interest and ability to help our clients design and build these unique elements.

In my own design consults, I combine creativity, knowledge of materials and resources to advise you on your options.

As your coach, these conversations can be discussed on site or via phone or Zoom, during initial consultations.

Should you desire to move forward from there, I provide many levels of design services. These include conceptual design renderings, floor plans, etc.

 

My work is is then passed on to a licensed architect to incorporate the creative ideas into a set of construction drawings and permit.

 

I have always enjoyed the process of communicating with the talented independent building trades. Here, I discuss the aesthetic details of a faux fireplace (non-operable) I designed as a focal point within the room.

While envisioning special details for your own Spanish home design, consider making an extra thick chamfered opening to a doorway entrance.

I helped a Hope Ranch, CA couple with their remodeling ideas, and we did just that.

For this entrance to their master bath, I suggested the door be set back into the wall in order to create a much more interesting focal point within the room.

 

Stay tuned for the Full Episode...

 

For fun, here is my latest SPANISH HOME DESIGN PHOTO BLOG episode and sequence of writing.

 

 

 

 

The Casa Corazon project in Santa Barbara started out as a real estate flip, but ultimately morphed into a full custom home project. The owner and dozens of Artisans invested several years to complete it.

The homeowner loved it so much they made it their main home and live there to this day.

HERE: After the whole house was drywall mudded at a standard local fee... we called in another specialty drywall team to apply an added layer of detailing in key locations.

Specifically, where lighting will reflect on the subtle texture. Also, in main living areas where natural sunlight and other factors will affect the overall look and feel.

The takeaway- Spend your money where you will enjoy the extra effort:)

 

 

 

 

 

The Artisans who handcrafted it affectionately nicknamed it the "Bird Cage"

The see through niche received a whimsical plaster surround detail I had designed for the project.

I am a great admirer of the designers and architects of the 1920s and 30s. They took the time and enjoyed thinking outside the box while designing unique features such as this.

Something to consider when working with your own home designer or architect. Designing unexpected features can really make your special home stand out.

 

 

 

 

Here, I meet with the independent General Contractor to check out the progress of this Spanish-style home remodel in Montecito, CA.

I designed the Bird Cage niche on paper, and worked with a local architectural foam fabricator. He fabricated it in foam and then applied a cement coating to it.

This unit was delivered to the jobsite as a preassembled unit. The GC glued and bolted it to the wall.

Here matching drywall mud texture is being applied for a seamless install.

If you are a local homeowner interested in hiring this independent group of artistic trades, I will be happy to introduce you to them!

 

 

 

 

Jeff Doubet Santa Barbara Spanish Home Designer Collaborates with Local General Contractors, Artisans and Trades

 

I have long standing working relationships with a wide variety of independent General Contractors in town. Many have become close friends.

Architects, Structural Engineers, General Contractor, Sub-Contractor and Artisan trades... the combination of talented teams will vary depending on the type of project you envision.

Here, a favorite General Contractor team installs a fluted plaster detail above a kitchen window.

These details are reminiscent of the early George Washington Smith style

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here, a deep wall niche was designed as a desk alcove within a small room in a Montecito Spanish-style cottage.

The original alcove was boxy and clad with outdated wood paneling.

This talented Artisan puts the finishing touches on the new corbel details and applies a final coat of white drywall mud.

California Spanish-style home designs often include indoor living areas adjacent to outdoor patios and covered loggias.

It is a convenient and enjoyable way to entertain your family and friends. Your get-together passes between the kitchen, family or dining room.

I captured this photo while the Casa Corazon covered patio and hardscapes were under construction.

The clanging of used red brick as the Artisans laid them in the classic pattern continues to be a fond memory of mine.

Basket weave is a favorite pattern I like to specify for outdoor patios and walkways. It is timeless in design, and relatively easy for the crew to install.

 

 

 

 

 

 

LEFT: A local independent Artisan puts a finishing coat on a Spanish Revival-style fireplace hood.

Notice how this mantel design incorporates a shelf. A place to showcase your collectibles, yet it still allows a classic hood detail above it.

These types of fireplace designs are particularly impressive in a dining or living room. Basically any room with tall ceilings and can handle the design composition.

A MASTER IN PLASTER...

Since 2003 I have shared a hobby of photography, and the days I am on project sites. This enables me to capture the construction progress as custom Spanish home designs are being built.

Here, a stucco plasterer Artisan works on detailing around a window during new construction of an accessory structure.

While designing this building, my client requested an oversized outdoor fireplace.

He envisioned it as the heart of a central outdoor gathering spot for friends and family. SEE THE COMPLETED PROJECT.

 

 

 

 

 

Spanish style Range Hood Designs:

Beautiful kitchen range hoods can be built to compliment other plaster detailing throughout your custom home, most notably your fireplaces.

There are so many different custom design variations you can incorporate.

Here, a local Santa Barbara homeowner and I discuss next steps for her kitchen remodel (now that the Artisans had completed the range hood).

We discuss the pros and cons of layout options for the decorative Spanish-style tile options she is considering.

If you are budget conscious, here are a couple of Amazon hoods I think are compatible with Spanish-style homes.

White version and a Black version.

Types of Spanish style Interior Doors:

Custom Spanish-style homes can be designed and built with painted wood doors, as well as stained wood doors.

Some of the early entry level homes had painted doors, probably because they were less expensive to make and install. This is true today, as well.

Stained doors will require a higher budget because the door itself must be made with a nicer species of wood that will accept stain.

Here a talented Artisan installs a subtly distressed, stained Alder wood door. A distressed look can be specified as a finish from the factory, or it can be done on site by Artisans using special tools.

 

 

 

 

 

Roofing info for a custom Spanish home:

There are many brands and material choices in Spanish roof tiles. The best ones have sizing and profiles that mimic historic tiles. Locally, this typically means a more petite size of roof tile.

Tract housing roof tiles are easily distinguished because of the cheaper production tiles they installed in perfectly straight rows. The result is an obvious cookie cutter look.

Handcrafted custom homes require more attention to detail in the roof materials, and how they are installed.

The finished results make a huge difference in the aesthetic, as well as the perceived value of the finished project.

Spanish-style Lighting Tips:

There are many details that go into creating a high end, custom Spanish-style home, including indoor and outdoor lighting.

Even when on a budget, I still believe investing in quality handmade wrought iron lighting in prominent area of a project (like at front door), can pay off. It is like jewelry for your house- your guests will notice the quality you have invested in.

 

Here I check on the progress of custom hand forged exterior lanterns made by a favorite local Santa Barbara custom lighting fabricator.

He created these hand forged exterior lanterns, and this photo captures them in a primer stage, just before the finish color coats.

 

 

 

Spanish-style Mailboxes:

Something you can consider for your high end custom Spanish home is a quality mailbox.

A stucco column style with copper or brass box is a quality way to accomplish a mailbox that will coordinate nicely with the architecture of your home.

Here the stucco Artisan applies the final coat of plaster on the column. The red tape protects the other design elements from the plastering process.

On pages 48-49 of my book Creating Spanish Style Homes, I show a time-lapse photo sequence of the various steps we took to design and build it.

 

 

 

A close up image of the Spanish tile design we chose to incorporate into this mailbox.

Generally, if you check out my STORE + MORE PAGE, there are DOZENS of client projects where Amazon products were installed. I have made it easy to find project coordinated with the Amazon product used.

 

 

 

The use of Talavera tile in Spanish Homes:

Santa Barbara Designers and Architects often specify them for stair risers, fireplace surrounds, kitchen backsplashes, outdoor fountains, etc.

 

Here, the homeowner, plasterer Artisan and I discuss the addition of a cast iron roman cross that will top the custom Spanish-style mailbox at Casa Corazon.

The thought was to build up the cement plaster and ramp it up on 4 sides to the round base of the cast iron cross.

You can see how it turned out HERE.

 

 

 

 

How are Spanish fireplaces designed:

Custom designed Spanish-style fireplaces are often built by layering up a multitude of materials and finishes to give them a high quality look.

This is done with hand wrought iron screens, decorative Spanish tile, brick and stone.

For this Santa Barbara project, an iron frame with cast iron rosettes was hand fabricated as a decorative surround to the fire box.

Here an Artisan puts a final coat of paint on the cement surround that was built in place (on site).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Plaster Door Surrounds:

In order to deeply recess the front door of this building, the door itself was box framed INSIDE the structure.

To detail this basic framed and drywalled box, I proposed a cap detail for it. Designed on paper, the supplier was able to cut and fabricated the design in architectural foam (with applied thin coat of cement on it).

Once the custom part arrived at the project site, we centered and secured it in place.

Then, the seams were covered in fiberglass mesh and various coats of finish drywall mud were applied.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Decorative Spanish Niches:

Building an artistic Spanish style niche into an existing walls is a relatively simple thing you can do to add charm to an otherwise boring wall.

On page 194 of my book, I share a variety of other photos showing how this Moorish style niche was made in a custom home in Montecito, California.

Designs of niches can be endless, but for this one... a subtle "ice cream scoop" starts at the soft top and gradually morphs to a sharp triangular shaped shelf at the bottom.

What shape will you want to make?

Here is a new SPANISH HOME DESIGN PHOTO BLOG POST EPISODE 3 about another Spanish-style niches I have designed. It has 14 photos in the project story.

 

 

 

 

Designing Spanish Revival Fireplaces:

The design possibilities are nearly endless. With the common building materials used, there is a lot of flexibility in how your design can look.

On this local project, I designed the mantel to have a heavy cornice detail that would protrude enough to become a narrow shelf above it.

I sketched little corbels in the upper corners of the firebox opening.

Here the independent Artisan puts a subtle surface texture on the final touches of the project.

SEE SPANISH HOME DESIGN PHOTO BLOG EPISODE 24 where this same talented Artisan plasters another Spanish-style fireplace with a hood. 20 photos to study!

 

 

 

 

 

Roofing a Garden Arch:

Here an Artisan roofer was busy cutting, checking, cutting and re-checking each roof tile piece as he then permanently secured them in cement.

The iron finial on top was anchored into the framing before the weatherproofing was installed.

On pages 44-45 of my book I share a 16 photo / time-lapse sequence of how this special archway was designed and built.

 

 

 

 

 

Spanish Fluted Ceilings:

Spanish Colonial Revival style homes provides a lot of creative flexibility for how home designers and architects can design their many details.

This beautiful family wanted to create a special foyer ceiling in their Montecito home.

The original foyer was in an awkward point in the roofline. In order to accomodate the confluence of several awkward ceiling types, an 8 sided ceiling was designed.

Episode 30 of the new SPANISH HOME DESIGN PHOTO BLOG showcases 33 photos of the renovation story and transformation of a Montecito Mid-Century Modern fixer upper into a Spanish Colonial Revival-style interior.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dozens of Artisans I showcase in my book are not hired models.

They are real life, good looking men and women who just happen to be living their dream as artists in the trades.

I love promoting their many talents on these pages and my book.

Here this Artisan uses a wet-n-dry sanding block to refine the Old World finish he is applying to the walls.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Drywall Finishes for Spanish Homes:

For high quality Spanish-style interiors, you can upgrade the surface to your standard drywall finish.

In less expensive tract housing developments, the general contractor and developer typically sputter spray on layers of drywall mud "texture".

In high end custom Spanish homes in Santa Barbara and Montecito, we strive to make the wall surfaces have the look of subtle, handmade plaster.

This is done with a flat blade, and includes wiping down the surface with a drywall sponge.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Specialty Custom Windows in Spanish Homes:

Plaster, iron and glass are common recurring materials used in the construction of quality Spanish-style home designs.

Specialty windows can be hand crafted with these materials to make your home have a very custom look and feel to it.

Here, a piece of decorative wavy glass was hand cut and then installed in an interior window of a local Santa Barbara Spanish home project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spanish Bathroom Details:

Here a master bathroom was re-imagined with rich details relatively easy and affordable to install.

This particular client wanted bold ideas and a high visual impact.

Elements like these can be installed using architectural foam components.

These were custom designed and mad by a local fabricator who also applied a thin coat of cement on the parts to make them dent proof.

Once components are installed and fiberglass mesh tape is applied to the seams- drywall mud is applied over all.

Here the Artisan finish sands the drywall at a tub alcove on his left, with the double vanity cabinets to be installed to his right.

 

 

 

SEE NEW ARTISAN PROJECTS I am now uploading to the MODERN MASTERS SERIES at my new Blog.

 

 

Stone Work for Santa Barbara and Montecito Spanish Homes:

Local Santa Barbara sandstone was incorporated as step landings at this project in the foothills.

Sandstone is an ideal material for this type of project because it coordinates seamlessly with the local landscape.

Santa Barbara, Montecito and Hope Ranch homes and properties are well known for their sandstone retaining walls, stone curbing, mailboxes, steps, fountains, vegetable garden borders etc.

Here I check on the stone mason as he installs another sandstone landing. I have always admired stone masons for their skills and abilities to elevate the value of any property they work on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Installing Architectural Salvage in your Custom Home:

Another way to add instant charm and a sense of history to your Spanish home design is to incorporate architectural salvage.

When designing your own place, consider what it will cost to have a blacksmith hand forge the elements of your design.

Architectural salvage can often be considered a good deal.

On this day I was purchasing a section of vintage railing. Later in the week the General Contractor installed it for the homeowner.

 

 

 

 

 

Designing Thick Archways in Spanish-style Homes:

Graceful arches, art niches, Old World plaster, barrel ceilings, wrought iron window grilles and railings, decorative plaster grilles, wide plank oak floors...

These are some of the custom elements that you can incorporate into your custom home in Santa Barbara and Montecito.

There are numerous local General Contractors that have great framing crews. This is not a difficult project for them.

A thickened wall or passageway is typically two walls framed next to one another. You can decide how wide they will be.

My coaching services are well suited for meeting with your team, should you need some additional input on the look you want to achieve.

 

 

 

 

Plaster Decorative Elements:

This non-structural design element was envisioned to hide an awkward transition from a grand hall to a sharply angled short ceiling of the narrow hallway behind it.

This Montecito estate had details reminiscent of Wallace Neff already incorporated. The homeowner wanted to continue with the theme.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Copper Lightning Rods for Spanish Roofs:

Custom lightning rods such as this one are readily available online.

I like to specify the designs that have the glass ball feature,like the one here.

These are affordable options to the more costly copper weather vanes.

The one I am applying patina to was installed on the finished project below.

Home Designer Jeff Doubet enjoys incorporating the time honored traditions in creating unique home designs based on materials and techniques inspired by the Old Country of Spain!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Spanish Plaster Grilles and Decorative Ceilings:

Beautiful three-dimensional art forms that can be incorporated in to your custom Spanish-style home.

 

Here I work along side an Artisan as we touch up a custom grille and ceiling panel in preparation for installation.

We found that it was easier to apply this layer of detail on the ground vs. standing on scaffolds while they were being installed on the ceilings.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here, another Artisan puts finishing touches on the San Felipe pattern of one of the ceiling panels. All the panels were completed on the ground before installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once these Spanish-style ceiling panels were glued and screwed into place, painters caulk was used to seal the seams where the individual panels met the coffered ceiling beams.

A primer coat was applied and then multiple coats of soft white paint.

As the project was coming to an end,I imagined the many daydreams these mesmerizing patterns might spur in the coming years.

It is always a goal to design comfort and enjoyment into the environments we are creating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Tecate Clay Floor Tiles in Spanish Homes:

Their are a variety of shapes and sizes available, and combining them to make familiar, yet original new compositions is a home designers challenge.

Here I show transitions I designed for an Entry Foyer to a bedroom hall in a custom home in Santa Barbara.

The living room and master suite were also designed to have interesting transitions in the floor patterns.

Hex, Squares, Herringbone and Running Bond are just a few patterns used in this custom home.

Carrera Marble as a material for Spanish Homes:

 

Carerra marble is a fairly common stone specified into Spanish-style homes. It can be used in both bathrooms and kitchens.

Here an Artisan team installs a honed Carrera marble sink top in a local Santa Barbara, California project.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Depending on what other materials you are using within your home, a Carerra marble or light colored man-made version of it can help balance the interior design.

It coordinates nicely with painted or stained cabinetry, as well as red clay floor tiles or wood floors.

With wood beams, floors, cabinetry... a home can become "too dark" if not careful in your planning.

In this case, Carerra marble was used as floor tile in this guest bath, and it balances the room nicely with the dark wood vanity cabinet and mirror.

 

 

 

 

Designing Quality Montecito and Santa Barbara Homes

Many of the quality design aesthetics of a Jeff Doubet Spanish-style home can also be incorporated in to other styles of homes.

 

 

 

This Montecito stone farmhouse was designed by local Santa Barbara Home Designer Jeff Doubet.

 

The owners of the San Ysidro Road 5 acre parcel were looking for a design that would tie in to the rural nature of their lot.

 

I was inspired by local historic structures such as those at the San Ysidro Ranch.
