Jeff Doubét is a Santa Barbara Home Design consultant who provides a range of design services for local Santa Barbara and Montecito, CA clients.

Since my book came out in the Fall of 2018, I have been designing projects outside the area, as well.

These collaborations are with a variety of homeowners throughout California, Arizona, Texas, Nevada and Florida.

With digital technology, there are many ways we can work together.

Live Zoom calls, on site visits, email, texting-

Typically it is a combination of all of the above.

 

 

Jeff Doubét Design + Consultant Services include:

Santa Barbara Spanish-style home design - whole house exteriors, ADU, guest houses, sheds

Santa Barbara Spanish-style architectural detailing - exterior and interior

Santa Barbara Spanish-style interior design- floor plans, arches, niches, etc.

Santa Barbara Spanish-style landscape design - hardscapes, pool, landscape, accessory structures

Spanish-style home design illustrations, renderings and hand-drawn sketches

 

My design and consulting services are focused on helping you develop an overall vision for your project. My conceptual design renderings typically include the home design, as well as the landscaping ideas around it.

How to work with Jeff Doubét


To inquire about my availability (current work load), please email me with basic info on your project.

 

 

 

AS OF MARCH 1, 2024:

I AM NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT THIS TIME.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How much does Jeff Doubét charge for his time?

I bill my design and consulting at an hourly rate, with a 1 hour min. on all new inquiries/projects.

I also have rough ballpark averages I can share with you re: how many hours I usually invest in various sizes of concept design renderings. (There are 200 examples of my design drawings in my book).

 

 

 

Jeff Doubét Santa Barbara Home Design Initial Consultations

I offer a valuable perspective during initial consultations. I share my construction background and experience since 1981.

I combine that with being a Santa Barbara Home Design Consultant since 2003 -

My "no strings attached" Initial Consultation is a very affordable way to explore the ideas you have been contemplating.

Out of town clients come to Santa Barbara to meet me here. If you are within driving distance... I can come to you.

Invitations from clients to their out of state projects cover my travel expenses. I bill for my time, but cap it for overnight stays-

Often, a homeowner feels the expense of a flight and/or drive time to their location is an easier way to discuss their project. I enjoy working with clients on site- as well.

Live Zoom calls are also a way to discuss your design dilemnas, and I have a prepared list of suggested ways to prep for it.

 

 

 

Zoom or Phone with Spanish Home Designer Jeff Doubét

Since my book came out in late Fall of 2018, over 1,905 homeowners have purchased it (as of 1/30/25).

I always appreciate hearing from enthusiastic readers (and seeing a copy of my book at construction sites!)

If you would like to schedule a Zoom video call to discuss anything in the book (questions, resources, etc) feel free to contact me, above.

Jeff Doubét Spanish style Hand Drawn Renderings + Architectural Illustrations

I help clients see the potential for their homes and landscapes by developing hand drawn designs, sketches and renderings.

Since 2003, I have drawn hundreds of these concept designs for clients throughout the US, particularly California, Arizona, Texas, Nevada and Florida.

 

 

 

I bill my design and illustration services at an hourly rate. These detailed renderings include architectural detailing and landscaping. These conceptual design renderings enable you and your team to see a finished project before it begins.

I also work with clients that already have an architect and/or a technical team in mind. The typical story is they would first like to work with me to help them "put on paper" their early thoughts for the direction they are envisioning for their project.

I am available on an hourly rate basis to work with your General Contractor and trades team(s) for implementing classic decorative elements such as arches, niches, old world plastering, etc.

I bring an artistic eye to your project and can help you with the aesthetic details you and your Architect, General Contractor and trades are developing.

 

As mentioned, I am well connected with independent local, licensed Santa Barbara architects, structural engineers and general contractors. I can share these resources with you during the initial consultation.

If all this sounds good, feel free to contact me to discuss scheduling a Initial Consultation.
