Home of the Week: A blockbuster contemporary in Montecito
A series of monochromatic hues and cement plaster walls provide a subtle sheath for this bold Montecito residence once owned by filmmaker Michael Bay.
Designed by architect Jan Hochhauser, the two-story contemporary employs a series of offset rooflines to create contrasting volumes from one space to the next. Sliding-glass doors and walls of windows keep the interior bright while bringing natural panoramas inside.
