This gorgeous Mediterranean-style garden cottage was reimagined by Tom Meaney | Architect, together with Giffin & Crane, located in Santa Barbara, California. Accents of copper, stone, and leaded glass help to infuse character into this once-informal cottage. A large bay window provides an inviting feature of the private entry court to the house.
To preserve the intimate scale within the larger interior spaces, the architect incorporated cozy sitting alcoves along with thoughtfully chosen colors, textures, and details in the ceilings. Continue below to see the rest of this warm and inviting home tour…

What We Love: This Mediterranean-style garden cottage was given a stunning transformation into a warm and cozy home. There are so many incredible design features that we love in this home remodel project, from the warmth of the wood on the ceilings to the use of skylights and French doors to bring in an abundance of natural light. The owner’s bedroom is one of our personal favorites, with the intimate bay window sitting area offering the perfect spot for enjoying morning coffee or relaxing with a good book while enjoying peaceful views of the backyard garden.
