Ken Radtkey, founder of Blackbird Architects in Santa Barbara, and Susan Van Atta, president of Van Atta Associates in Santa Barbara, nestled their new house into the hillside, with open living spaces and a study on the ground floor and three bedrooms upstairs. Note the arced green roof, the second green roof at right, above the garage, and the ground-floor veranda at the front of the house, all of which we'll revisit.
