5 Top Reasons Why Las Vegans Love Santa Barbara Style Homes

Santa Barbara style homes are widely popular in Las Vegas due to their authentic beauty and structurally sound designs. 

Characterized by white stucco, arched doorways, expansive windows, brilliantly patterned red tile and cast-iron details are just some of the reasons why Las Vegans love Santa Barbara style homes. Known to many as the jewel of historic architecture here are 5 Top Reasons Why Las Vegans Love Santa Barbara Style Homes. 

1. The History 

Originating from Mediterranean and Spanish-revival architecture, Santa Barbara style was born. 

When the Santa Barbara earthquake hit in 1925, the city used their Spanish-colonial history to rebuild the city. Architects restored many of Santa Barbara’s buildings including the courthouse and the Old Mission building which is why Santa Barbara style is often called Mission Architecture. Santa Barbara architect George Washington Smith popularized the Spanish Colonial Revival style in early 20th Century America and its popularity continues to grow especially in warm and dry climates like Las Vegas, Nevada. 

2. Architecturally Sound

The most prominent architectural designs are strategic and architecturally sound with carved out patterns and additional details to enhance the entire space. 

In a hot and dry climate such as Las Vegas the best architectural designs are modeled after classics like Santa Barbara style so they can withstand the test of time while maintaining timeless beauty. For many Las Vegans a major attraction to the Santa Barbara style is that these designs maintain cooler temperatures during the warm months with stucco finishes and light reflecting white walls. A definite sought after feature for any Las Vegas resident. These lavish designs are structurally sound and visually appealing for decades to come.

3. Gorgeous Combo of Mediterranean & Spanish Style Design. 

The gorgeous combo of Mediterranean and Spanish style Santa Barbara architectural designs tend to be comforting, light and warm. 

With a basis in Mediterranean and Spanish style aesthetics Santa Barbara architectural designs are inspired by tradition. Santa Barbara style homes are enhanced with white stucco, detailed with the natural beauty of polished wood, lush desert landscaping and red-tile roofs. The rich earth tones create a sense of warmth while the white hues and expansive windows lighten the space with open floor plans that encourage airflow and natural light. The elevated ceilings are typically trimmed with wood beams that beautifully accent the space. 

4. Contrasting Hues Create a Desert Oasis 

Like any great art, Santa Barbara style homes transform the space with a multitude of strategic detail that enhances the surrounding desert terrain. 

The bright white walls create a beautiful contrast against the warm hued tones that balances vibrantly with the lush desert landscape. The open floor plans, expansive ceilings and large windows permit natural sunlight to enter the space. The design is inspired by the surrounding desert landscape that is relaxed yet lavish. Warm and rugged hues create a cozy theme that pairs well with the surrounding desert landscape.

5. Cozy Yet Entertaining Vibes 

Entertainment is another important element when considering the design style of a home. 

Santa Barbara style portrays a cozy and romantic ambience inspired by its Mediterranean heritage with a mix of vintage style elements adopted from its Spanish background. Santa Barbara unravels an experience within the aesthetics and creates a cozy and entertaining vibe. 

The exteriors are typically traced with red tile, white stucco that contrasts ever so eloquently with lavish aqua colored water features affixed to surrounding pools and spas while being surrounded by the rustic and lavish desert landscape.  The airy and earthy tones are fun and vibrant. Ideal to set the mood for indoor or outdoor entertainment.
