This lovely farmhouse in Santa Barbara takes its architectural cues from a 1940s board-and-batten cottage that previously occupied the property. “The owners spent weekends in the cottage and relished its casual style and utilitarian simplicity,” says architect Mary Andrulaitis of Neumann Mendro Andrulaitis Architects. “This particular home’s placement on a larger piece of property gives you the feeling of an escape from the chaos of everyday life, to a place and time where things are simpler and quieter.”
