Home of the Week: At the intersection of art and architecture in Montecito
The Montecito residence, designed to accommodate an extensive art collection, is listed for sale at $12.5 million.
Perched atop a knoll in Montecito, this bold contemporary was designed to showcase an extensive art collection. A mix of natural stone and wood materials give the interior of the home an elemental tone; an abundance of clerestories and windows provide natural lighting for the gallery walls. Modern sculptures punctuate nearly 2 acres of grounds, which center on views of the ocean and Channel Islands.
