1950s Ranch House Updated With Contemporary Style, Coastal Details

March 09, 2015

Neumann Mendro Andrulaitis Architects turned this 1950s ranch house in Santa Barbara, Calif., into a modern stunner by adding more natural light and outdoor access. Where new appliances and custom cabinetry update the interior, tropical plants evoke the idea of a tropical oasis.

Before: Outdated Exterior and Front Yard
