KB Studio undertook the restoration of a historic residence originally designed by George Washington Smith in the heart of Montecito. The approach centered on honoring the home’s architectural heritage—carefully restoring original hardwood floors, doors, and hand-troweled plaster while preserving the craftsmanship that defines the property.

 

Thoughtfully curated fixtures and bespoke furnishings were introduced to complement the historic architecture, creating a subtle dialogue between past and present. The result is a quietly refined home that celebrates its legacy while embracing the elegance and comfort of modern living.
